Hardback. Condizione: Near Fine. There was a time when Britain?s roads echoed not with the discreet hum of aerodynamic logistics, but with the determined rumble of lorries that looked as though they had been carved from cast iron, assembled with rivets the size of golf balls and painted by someone who regarded "luxury" as the inclusion of a passenger seat. They leaked oil, required forearms like a blacksmith?s to steer and considered a heater to be an entirely optional extravagance. Naturally, everyone remembers them with enormous affection. British Lorries 1945?1965 is Rinsey Mills? splendid celebration of the machines that quite literally carried Britain through two decades of rebuilding, prosperity and industrial expansion. In the years following the Second World War, fleets of sturdy, uncompromising commercial vehicles became the backbone of the nation?s economy, delivering everything from coal and steel to milk, furniture and machinery. If something needed moving, chances are one of these dependable workhorses was called upon to do it, usually without complaint and often while grossly overloaded by modern standards. Mills takes readers on a fascinating tour through this golden age of British commercial vehicle manufacturing, featuring legendary names such as AEC, Albion, Atkinson, Bedford, Commer, ERF, Foden, Guy, Leyland, Scammell, Seddon and Thornycroft. Each manufacturer brought its own ideas, engineering quirks and fiercely loyal customer base, creating a wonderfully diverse landscape where no two fleets looked quite alike and every driver insisted that his chosen marque was the only one worth owning. One of the great joys of this book is its reminder that lorries were once designed almost entirely with practicality in mind. Creature comforts were scarce, power steering was often an ambitious dream, gearboxes demanded negotiation rather than operation, and climbing a steep hill at anything approaching haste was regarded as wildly optimistic. Yet somehow these machines hauled astonishing loads over astonishing distances, powered by engines that seemed capable of running indefinitely on diesel, determination and occasional stern language from the driver. Richly illustrated with period photographs and supported by informative captions and historical context, British Lorries 1945?1965 is much more than a gallery of old trucks. It is a portrait of Britain?s post-war industries, its roads, its engineering talent and the men who spent their working lives coaxing these mechanical giants through narrow villages, factory gates and city streets that had clearly never anticipated meeting anything quite so large. Whether you?re a commercial vehicle enthusiast, a transport historian or simply someone who enjoys discovering that Britain once produced enough lorry manufacturers to fill several motor shows, this volume offers hours of rewarding browsing. It?s also guaranteed to trigger nostalgic conversations beginning with, "My dad drove one of those." before disappearing into increasingly elaborate recollections involving double-declutching, smoky engines and impossible delivery schedules. Condition: Near Fine. A superbly preserved copy that has clearly avoided the hard-working existence of the vehicles it celebrates. Crisp, clean and in excellent condition throughout, it looks ready for many more years of appreciative browsing. Unlike many post-war British lorries, it won?t require a grease gun, a starting handle or half an hour?s encouragement on a frosty morning before getting down to business.…

Fascinating photographs from Shelby's personal collection complete a book whose original hardcover edition was published mere weeks before his passing, making Carroll Shelby: The Authorized Biography a magnificent and lasting tribute to one of the greatest automotive figures of the twentieth century.
