The History Press Ltd The London Cabbie
Book SynopsisForty years ago Alf Townsend passed The Knowledge - after 14,000 miles on a moped round central London. Since then he has covered millions of miles in his taxi. This book includes a selection of his extraordinary and hilarious tales of everyday life as a cabbie, in which we meet Mr Whippy and Violent Pete, Bread Roll Mick and the Motorway Mouse, Claude the Bastard and the mysterious Mr X. Alf also examines the history of cab-driving in the capital - including the variety of taxis that have been used - and even tries to shed some light on the most ancient and obscure Hackney Carriage laws that are still on the statute book. (Do you know why a taxi is so tall? So a passenger can get on board wearing a top hat: it''s true...) Concluding with a look at the seamy side of night work, the rise and rise of the mini-cab, and what the future may hold for the London cabbie, Alf Townsend''s book will be entertaining reading for all Londoners, and anyone else who has tr

David & Charles Triumph TR2, & TR3 - All models (including 3A &
Book SynopsisThe Triumph TR2 and TR3 were the heralds of a long-running line of Triumph Sports Cars, culminating in the futuristic TR7 of the 1970s. They were truly sporting cars, suitable for competition and enjoyable fast road motoring. The quintessential British Sports Car of the 1950s, more than 83,000 side-screen TRs were produced, which contributed greatly to British manufacturing prestige - and the postwar economy - with approximately 90% being exported, principally to the USA and Canada. This book is written with the sole aim of giving prospective buyers key knowledge to choose the best example available according to budget. It covers models TR2, TR3, TR3A, and the rare TR3B, produced between 1953 and 1962. All aspects of the car are examined in detail and with many illustrations to back up the text. There is also advice on such matters as non-period modifications. Since the 1980s, the TR models have become finite in number, much cherished by owners, and increased in value, making it very important to know and understand the points to look for, as well as the potential pitfalls of choosing a rogue example. Having bought an imported TR3a, restoring it and preparing it for racing, the author is also a TR2/TR3 consultant for Club Triumph, and a regular contributor to its magazine, making him well-placed to guide you through finding and choosing the best model for you.Trade ReviewMost of us will be familiar with Veloce's 'Essential Buying Guide' series.

If I were looking for one of the Side-screen TR's I would have no hesitation in taking this pocket-sized Essential Guide along with me. - Standard Motor Club. This book is aimed at anyone considering buying one of these early models, and guides you quickly and effectively through the pitfalls, known issues and problem areas to look out for; all in an accessible and readable style.

David & Charles Mercedes-Benz 190: all 190 models (W201 series)
Book SynopsisThe 190 (W 201) was a landmark car for Mercedes-Benz: the predecessor to today's C-Class models, it was the company's first compact saloon (sedan) and combined advanced engineering with a new direction in body styling, later followed by the W124 and R129 series. Engines available included robust petrol and diesel `fours', as well as a silky `straight-six'. The sporting 190 E 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 models, initially developed with Cosworth, took Mercedes to new levels of performance. Altogether, nearly 1.9 million cars were produced, and today the 190 is an increasingly sought-after modern classic. This guide will help you learn about the differences between models, and what to look for when buying. What are the true running costs, and what issues - with the mechanicals, body or interior - should you be wary of? Is a restoration worth considering? This handy guide will take you step-by-step through the process of finding and evaluating a good 190 and making a successful purchase. Essential data and information about clubs and specialists will help you look after and enjoy your 190.Trade ReviewThe vast disparity in prices between a mint 190 and a rough one reveals how important it is to buy well, so this latest addition to the Essential Buyer's Guide series is welcome. It covers all aspects of buying and owning the baby Benz, from paint to paperwork, and includes every model, from base diesel to the twin-cam Cosworths. It is a must to pop in the packet when you view a potential purchase. - Classic & Sports Car. This book provides helpful tools in evaluating this car if you are not familiar with them. - Chris Bass Freelance. Great addition to this growing range is this buying guide for Mercedes-Benz 190.

Covering everything from ideal specifications for resale through to things to check when buying and options to avoid, the book is vital for anyone looking to buy a 190 of they’re looking for the best. An excellent read ... there’s really no excuse not to buy it. Like the W123 book, there’s a comprehensive evaluation and grading system included for those keen to buy. – Mercedes Driver.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Is it the right car for you? 2.
