The Austin Seven is one of the most universally appealing small cars of all time. It was manufactured in a variety of forms, from simple open tourers to saloons, vans, sports cars and even racers, and left an indelible mark on the course of motoring history. Production ceased in 1939 after 17 years, during which time some 291,000 chassis had been made. Originally published in 1989, and re-issued due to popular demand, this is the most complete work of reference ever published on the model and is essential reading for all Austin Seven owners, restorers and enthusiasts.• ‘One of those essential books’ Octane

Since 1905, Herbert Austin’s Longbridge car factory, known locally as ‘The Austin’, has provided a livelihood for many thousands of families in the West Midlands. This is the story of the vehicles produced there, and the factory itself – in the words of those intimately involved in the styling, design, testing and building of cars. It is rich in historical detail and social history, and will fascinate motoring enthusiasts as well as those who have worked at Longbridge.• ‘a fascinating tale, well told’ Daily Telegraph• ‘fills a gap...and deserves to do well’ The Automobile

The first Austin-Healey 100 model was unveiled at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show, and when the last car rolled off the production line in 1967, over 73,000 examples had been built. The four- and six-cylinder Healey 100s, and the later 3000 model, were masculine sports cars in the best tradition. This beautifully produced book will appeal to all fans of British sports cars as well as to Austin-Healey owners and enthusiasts.• ‘difficult to fault’ Classics• ‘a fresh look at an age-old subject’ Classic & Sports Car• ‘a fitting tribute’ The Automobile
