<p>At the 1966 Geneva Motor Show a small new BMW was shown called the 1600. An addition to the four-door saloon this was the two-door version. A larger version called the 2002 came in 1968. These ran side by side until the early 70s when the 1600 was dropped because the 2002 was the car everyone wanted. In 1974, because of economic changes, a cheaper 1600, the 1602, was launched. This is a collection of contemporary road tests, technical and specification data, model and comparison articles and owners' reports. Models covered are: 1600 2-door saloon, 1600 CoupT, 1600Ti, 1602, 1602 Special, 1602L. </p>

Already held in high esteem as a marque before the war the new Rover chassis of 1948 and new bodywork of 1950 carried on the tradition, equally satisfying to the sedate connoisseur and to the more exacting performance demands of the fast driver. The 75 had a six-cylinder engine and very comfortable bodywork. 1953 saw this supplemented with the 60 for fuel economy and the 90 for higher performance. The front styling of all models was modified for 1957 and all three received overdrive. As prices rose so did the demand for speed. The result of this was the 105S; an upgraded version of the 90. This is a book of contemporary road tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, long term tests, driver's impressions, touring. Models covered include: 75, 60, 90, Farina, Overdrive, Turbine, 105S, 105R.

This is a book of contemporary road tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, engine conversions, buying second hand, history.

<p>As competition with the Big Three manufacturers increased Studebaker responded with a quartet of Hawks. Top was the Golden Hawk with a 352 V8 Packard engine, then came the Sky Hawk that had a Studebaker V8 engine, and the Power and Flight Hawks had smaller engines. With the cessation of production of the Packard engine the following year the Golden Hawk had to revert to the 289 V8 Studebaker engine. In 1957 the models were reduced to the Golden Hawk and the Silver Hawk. The Hawk continued in limited form until completely redesigned in 1962 and sold well. In April 1963 the Super Hawk and Super Lark were unveiled but production ceased in December 1963.

These cars were racing saloons de-tuned for road use. They could be easily upgraded using Ford special equipment, often astonishing other road users by their remarkable acceleration and handling. These cars also lent themselves to tuning by other companies to gain that extra horsepower on the track. Ford introduced a cheaper model with the Escort Sport that looked like the Mexico and RS shell but without the strengthening welds and a 1297cc engine. The RS 2000 has the 2-litre power plant from the Cortina specially modified to suit the Escort and used the Cortina 2000 gearbox.
