From Chain Drive to Turbocharger: The Archie Fraser Nash Story
$102.00
From the chain-driven Frazer Nash of the 1920s to the turbocharged Porsche of today, the story of AFN, the Aldington brothers, their friends and their impact on the motor industry and motor sport is vividly brought to life in this enthralling and authoritative book. Written by a motoring journalist who needs no introduction, it traces how a British manufacturer became, prewar, the importer for BMW and, immediately postwar, was a catalyst in the re-birth of BMW and the birth of Bristol. Aston Martin, Invicta, DKW and Armstrong Siddeley are other marques to feature in the AFN story prior to their total Porsche involvement. With its wealth of unpublished information, anecdotes and photographs, the book is a unique contribution to the history of the British car industry which will appeal to all who appreciate the world of pert ormance motoring.

Nash-Austin Metropolitan Gold Portfolio 1954-1962
Nash had wanted to build a small economy car for some time and after several studies in the early 50s Nash Kelvinator Corp. announced that the Austin Motor Co. would build the cars on their behalf. These cars embodied Austin A40 and A30 components in the Nash-designed car of which hardtop and Drophead coupT version were produced. In 1956 the body style was ?Americanized' and the engine changed to the A50 making it more acceptable to the US market. By 1957 it was available to the British market and fitted with the B-series engine. Production came to an end in 1962. This was America's first high quality, well-engineered minicar confirmed by the number that still survive. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, specification and technical data, driver's impressions, development, used cars on the road, history.
Models covered include: Convertible, CoupT, 1200, 1500.
