Lotus Elite
The Lotus Elite was a turning point for Lotus. First produced at the end of the 1950s, it marked Lotus' transition from a maker of small racing cars, which had limited utility on the road, to the producer of a highly sophisticated road and race car. In the Elite, Lotus exploited its knowledge of new technology and racing pedigree to produce a car which, with its glass fibre monocoque and Coventry Climax engine, had the potential to be a world beater. This book gives an insight into the reasons the car was produced and its importance in Lotus' history, especially in the production of lightweight innovative cars. Through interviews with Elite owners, first hand accounts provide a good overview of owning one of these iconic cars, covering its foibles and quirks as well as its exemplary roadholding, handling and performance. Illustrated with many colour photographs, along with period advertising material, the book provides a valuable insight into owning, running and racing these iconic cars.
Norton Commando
The Commando was the main bike in Norton's range from 1968, and was produced until the demise of Norton Villers Triumph in 1977. The bike featured the unique 'Isolastic' system that rubber-mounted the engine and protected the rider from the twin-cylinder's vibrations. The model range provided the rider with a choice of touring and sporting models, as well as offering special police machines and off-the-shelf production racers. Commandos feature strongly in today's classic scene, and offer excellent performance and spares availability, as well as a vast range of improvements and updated components. This book looks at the history and development of the Commando, gives the specifications and outlines the model changes, and also offers the riding experiences of past and present owners. In addition there is a blow-by-blow account of the author's restoration of a 1971 750cc model that had been re-imported into the UK from America needing a complete rebuild.

BSA Unit Singles
The BSA range of unit construction singles was in production for fifteen years, and spanned the time of BSA's greatest success, to the eventual failure of the company. In that time, the range provided BSA with their basic 'bread and butter' machines, gave thousands of learners an introduction to motorcycling, provided BSA with many national and world championship wins in the off road arena, mobilized the British Army and gave trail riders the world over the means to further their hobby. This illustrated history of the BSA unit singles runs from the 250cc ohv single cylinder C15 Star of 1958 to the B50 of 1971 and includes all the Triumph-badge derivatives. Matthew Vale provides not only the history but much practical advice relating to the purchase, restoration and maintenance of these machines.
Thought Spring
Involvement in work, human interactions, and keen observations teach a lot. What we so learn is meant not merely for saving and application but also for appropriate sharing. Post-retirement Life. free from job responsibilities and work-tension provides an opportunity to relax. to roam, to read. to meditate. to recollect. to introspect. and to mull over mundane happenings. The leisure gives the pleasure of placid pensiveness. And, the thinking, bereft of any ideological or political connectivity enjoys unbridled independence and fairness. With I Pad and Laptop keeping company to lap up my writings, I spent most of my healthy time to key-in my singular experiences and observations and unbiased thoughts and views on varied matters in prose and poetic forms to store in my PC to be retrieved later for publication.
