BROUGH SUPERIOR THE COMPLETE STORY
George Brough started building motorcycles shortly after the First World War. The machines were named Brough Superior both to distinguish them from his father's Brough machines and to denote the highest levels of performance and quality of manufacture. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the name Brough Superior was synonymous with the very best in motorcycle design. The machines gained fame in the hands of riders such as Bert le Vack, Eric Fernihough, Noel Pope and, of course, T. E. Lawrence ‘Lawrence of Arabia'. This book documents the full story of Brough and Brough Superior from the early years of the twentieth century through to the end of production in the Second World War, and post-war attempts at revival.
VELOCETTE – DE LA MSS A LA THRUXTON
L’histoire de la moto est essentiellement connue par ses modèles les plus célèbres. Ces vedettes ont ainsi laissé dans l’ombre les inventions parfois loufoques de quelques inventeurs, et celles, géniales, qui n’ont pourtant pas connu de succès par manque de moyen, de technologie ou tout simplement de chance. C’est à toutes ces motos délaissées par l’histoire que ce livre rend aujourd’hui hommage.
BSA BANTAM ESSENTIAL BUYER'S GUIDE
There are lots of books about the BSA Bantam, about its history, performance, lineage and the minutae of its specification, but none of them will tell you what to look for when buying one secondhand. That's what this book is about – it aims at being a straightforward, practical guide to buying a used Bantam. …

IL GRANDE LIBRO DELLE MOTO INGLESI ANNI 50 E 60
Nella storia della moto gli anni '50 e '60 rappresentano per l'Inghilterra il periodo di massimo fulgore. Tutti gli appassionati si rivolgono ai marchi inglesi sapendo di trovare nei loro listini il massimo in fatto di eleganza, fascino e prestazioni. La produzione comprende molti modelli di cilindrata elevata, destinati soprattutto al mercato americano. E i motori sono spesso bicilindrici, staccandosi così nettamente da una panoramica europea che vede la maggior parte dei modelli monocilindrici e di piccola cilindrata. Sono questi gli anni più gloriosi per molti storici marchi: BSA e Triumph, Norton e Royal Enfield, Matchless e Velocette. La concorrenza giapponese è ancora lontana, le moto inglesi dominano il mercato in maniera assoluta. Ma è proprio in questi anni che il gigante si rivela con i piedi di argilla. Forti della posizione dominante i costruttori restano ancorati sulle proprie produzioni senza effettuare investimenti in attrezzature o nello studio di nuovi modelli. Una scelta conservativa che metterà i vari marchi in difficoltà alla fine degli anni '60 per portare alla chiusura definitiva nei primi anni '70.

BSA BANTAM – HARDBACK
The diminutive BSA Bantam is one of the icons of British motoring in the twentieth century. It was not fast, or glamorous, or particularly well built; but it was cheap, easy to ride and reasonably reliable. It was an introduction to motoring for thousands of men and women in the fifties and sixties, and it still holds an important place in the memory of many. This book charts the huge success of the little bike from Birmingham that started its life in pre-war Germany and went on to conquer the world.
