King Nicholas and the Copeman Empire
What would you do if you were twenty-five, unemployed, still living with your parents and had absolutely nothing to move on to in life? Nick Copeman's answer was to change his name by deed poll to His Majesty King Nicholas I and found an empire from his royal seat - a caravan just outside Sheringham, Norfolk. Originally done as a bet - part of which was to arrive to sign on at Cromer Job Centre on a horse and wearing a crown - the scam soon escalated and took on a life of its own. He sells peerages over the internet, receives corporate sponsorship, becomes a local celebrity and dreams of a date with Zara Phillips. But as His Majesty starts to believe his own hype, his ever more outlandish claims start catching up with him and not all the locals are happy. How long can the high-life - a fridge full of Taste the Difference ready meals - last? Will it be a case of 'long live the King'? Or will the charvers who hang around the local Costcutter make sure it's 'off with his head'?

Lotus
From the Mark 1 in 1948 to the World's most powerful electric hypercar – the Evija – in 2021, the story of the Lotus marque encompasses ongoing technical innovation on road and track. With seventy-four F1 Grand Prix wins, six Drivers' and seven Constructors' F1 World Championships chalked up over seven hectic decades, Lotus consolidated its reputation in racing while at the same time creating some of the World's most stylish and desirable sportscars and Grand Tourers, in-house as well as for global automotive clients via its Lotus Engineering consultancy. With over 380 photographs, this book includes: the origins of the business, creating Austin 7-based competition cars; the metamorphosis from sports-racing cars to F1 – and seven World titles; factory relocations, from Hornsey to Cheshunt to Hethel; the road cars: the Elite, Elan, Europa, Excel, Esprit, Elise, Exige and Evora; how sponsorship transformed traditional British Racing Green into Gold Leaf and JPS livery. There are also interviews with key Lotus personnel and drivers.
Lotus Esprit
As Lotus's flagship model for almost three decades, the Esprit was launched in 1976 and remained in production for over a quarter of a century. It received regular refreshment along the way, principally to its original Giorgetto Giugiaro design and, from 1987, to its later Peter Stevens incarnation. Both iterations enabled the Esprit to maintain its position at the forefront of its market segment. Regularly compared to the best available from its German and Italian rivals, the Esprit was equally at home on the race track as it was on the road. A promising return to top-line international GT racing saw the Esprit compete on equal terms with the likes of Ferrari and McLaren, whilst, back in th...
