Le spider sportive, da usare rigorosamente aperte anche quando non c’è il sole, sono una delle icone della Gran Bretagna, come i taxi neri, le cabine telefoniche rosse, la regina e il Big Ben. In un Paese in cui il sole c’è solo pochi giorni all’anno, si è sviluppata una lunghissima tradizione di vetture con carrozzeria scoperta, che ha fatto la fortuna di grandi marchi della storia dell’automobile. Questo libro ne racconta l’evoluzione, dalle origini pionieristiche fino ai giorni nostri. Accanto a nomi leggendari come Aston-Martin, Jaguar, Triumph, Morgan e MG non mancano i piccoli artigiani e i costruttori meno noti. Cento dei principali modelli sono descritti con un breve testo e una scheda tecnica, il tutto illustrato da un enorme apparato iconografico. È il libro ideale per chi vuole una panoramica completa su questa affascinante tipologia di automobili.

• The story of British car streamline styling

• Thumbnail biographies of 1930s British automotive designers collected for the first time

Description

A unique account of a radical era in automotive design. The Art Deco movement influenced design and marketing in many different industries in the 1930s, and the British motor industry was no exception.
The book is divided into two parts: the first explains and illustrates the Art Deco styling elements that link these streamlined car designs, describing their development, their commonality, and how aeronautical names were used, and is liberally illustrated with contemporary images. The second part goes on to portray British streamlined production cars made between 1933 and 1936, illustrated with colour photographs of surviving cars. 
Synopsis

This is a book about automotive styling, in particular the streamlined styling that defined what are now known as Airline cars. During the mid-1930s the majority of British car manufacturers and coachbuilders experimented with streamlined styling. This fashion was the result of Art Deco, an international movement that influenced design and marketing in many different industries, and produced some of the most unique and visually exhilarating cars ever produced in Britain. Part One of the book explains and illustrates the Art Deco styling elements that link these streamlined car designs, and describes their development, their commonality, and their unique aeronautical names. The stories of the individual cars, their designers, and their development, are told in Part Two. Here, Barrie Down has collected examples of all the significant British streamlined production cars made between 1933 and 1936, many of them still represented by beautifully restored survivors. The book is well illustrated with over 200 contemporary pictures and colour photographs of existing cars, many of which have never before been published. This book is an instructive and visual feast for all car lovers.

                    [sinopsis_editor] => Description
During the 1960s, the automobile finally secured its position as an indispensable component of daily life in Britain. Car ownership more than doubled from approximately one car for every 10 people in 1960 to one car for every 4.8 people by 1970. Advertisers, who once needed to promote the joys of motoring as well as the particular pleasures of the individual product, no longer needed to wonder whether the potential customer (let alone society at large) might be content with no car at all. It was during this time that the question changed from “Do we need a car?” to “What car shall we have?”

This well-illustrated history explores the many types and trends of ads issued by both domestic car manufacturers and importers in three main sections: “Family Marques: Engines of an Industry,” “Luxury and Sporting Marques: Aspiration and Escape” and “Imported Marques: Britain Embraces the World.” Twelve appendices provide information on various topics ranging from the value of the pound in 1958–70 and imports of cars from selected countries, to car manufacturers’ and importers’ advertising agencies, and approximate monthly press advertising expenditures. Over 180 advertisement illustrations are also included.

The story of Longbridge is full of tragedy and the loss of car making there has dealt a huge blow to the Midlands' manufacturing base.

The first cars to roll off the production plant were Austins, and the site has been a centre of car manufacturing ever since and some of the most recognised marques and models have been made there from the original Austin 7 of the 1920s to the Mini of 1959, as well as the Austin 1100. In later years, the factory also made Rovers and MGs, including the SD1, Rover 75 and MGF model

Description

Wooden-bodied shooting brakes, station wagons and estate cars, collectively known as Woodies, were the original SUVs (sports utility vehicles). While they were initially created for a specific purpose, their versatility, adaptability and load-carrying abilities meant that they quickly found favour with British buyers from all walks of life. In their heyday, they were built on virtually every make of car and light commercial chassis, and could be seen on every road in Britain. Sadly, today they are a rarity due mostly to the fact that their wooden bodies were not built to last – and most didn’t! Thousands were built by hundreds of coachbuilders, both large and small, and with the passage of time it may never be possible to record all of their details with any accuracy. The work of hundreds of small coachbuilder firms is highlighted and illustrated with 100 rare and previously unpublished photos of these wooden wonders. 
Synopsis

In the 1920s, 30s and 40s, wooden-bodied shooting brakes, estate cars and station wagons were commercial vehicles made in Britain, mostly for utilitarian roles. They were built in relatively small numbers, often by small, lesser-known commercial bodybuilding firms, and required high levels of maintenance to ensure anything resembling a long life. Every chassis from Alvis, Austin and Bentley to Standard, Vauxhall and Wolseley was built as a Woodie at some stage, and they reached the peak of their popularity in the immediate postwar years when steel was in short supply and the majority of new cars were being built for export. Some vehicle manufacturers sold wooden-bodied utilities under their own name, but most were built in small workshops under contract to vehicle dealerships or selling direct to the general public. However, labour intensive constriction, high maintenance requirements and the introduction of the unitary chassis by Britain’s car makers all contributed to the eventual demise of the British Woodie. Today, there’s a resurgent interest in British Woodies across the world, with an increasing number of cars being restored and cherished. The work of hundreds of small coachbuilder firms is highlighted here, and illustrated with 100 rare and previously unpublished photos. The British Woodie is undoubtedly a thing of beauty, and this book is a tribute to the skills of the coachbuilders that built these amazing wooden wonders.
