The story of the Grand Prix Type 35 Bugatti racing car, its origins, its design and creation, its racing history and its eclipse - and of some of its successors.
"H. G. Conway has set himself up as the Bugatti historian, as well as owning and driving some very choice examples of this exclusive marque - some say that he invented the Bugatti! Consequently, much is expected of anything he contributes to this subject."
- Motor Sport Magazine
The Grand Prix Bugatti has a strong claim to a book all of its own, with its enviable record of racing successes, its superb craftsmanship and, for the more mechanically minded, the great variety of its ingenious design features unique to the creations of the great artist designer, Ettore Bugatti.
Grand Prix Bugatti, originally written in 1968 by the preeminent Bugatti expert H.G. Conway, is devoted to the racing Types 35, 37, 43 and 51, in their various forms, and describes their anatomy in detail and their racing achievements. A schedule of individual models, in chassis number order, gives type number, factory date, brief history and where known, the owner (as of 1968); the appendices include tabulated specifications of the types.
Bugatti owners will also find much practical information to help them maintain their historic cars.
Extensively illustrated with contemporaneous racing photographs and technical diagrams, Grand Prix Bugatti is a classic reference book for anyone interested in the history of Bugatti racing and competition cars.

Think to Win: The New Approach to Fast Driving

Alexander, Don

The idea of building a car for the people was not new, but the success of such models had always been limited. At least until 1946, when the Volkswagen factory began building the first Beetles for public consumption. From then on the car just ran and ran. Volkswagen Model Documentation begins by telling the history of Volkswagen after the war, how the British under Major Ivan Hirst rescued Porsche's concept from the rubble, and how Heinrich Nordhoff then steered the company to worldwide success. Joachim Kuch then examines in detail the genesis and history of each Volkswagen model, beginning with the Beetle and Cabriolet (Types 1 and 151), through the Karmann-Ghia (Type 14), Thing (Type 181) Transporter (Type 2, including air-and watercooled, Campmobile and Westfalia), Type 3 (Notchback, Squareback, Fastback, Ghia), Type 4 (411, 412), and 914 (4-and 6-cylinder). Also included are separate sections detailing the important dates, changes, and milestones in each model's production run. Packed with photographs, quotes from press and test articles of the time, and information from internal Volkswagen documents, Volkswagen Model Documentation tells the comprehensive story of all the Volkswagen boxer-engine models.
