The Manx Norton
By Mick Walker

The Manx Norton is the most famous of all British racing motorcycles. It is linked with the legendary heroes of the sport, Jimmie Guthrie, Harold Daniell, Geoff Duke, John Surtees, Mike Hailwood and the age when Britain had the world’s finest motorcycle industry.

This definitive history traces the design, development, the leading riders and tuners, and contains a superb collection of photographs, many previously unpublished. The Manx Norton covers not only the Manx itself but also features boardroom battles; Norton’s early history; recording breaking; sidecars; Formula 3 cars; scrabling (moto-cross); the Domiracer; racing at Daytona and today’s classic scene.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Special Editions at Dubai Motor Show

Fri, 11 Nov 2011

The Canary Yellow Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Special Edition at Dubai Remarkably, it’s been at least a few weeks since the last Limited Edition Bugatti Veyron turned up. But worry not, Bugatti hasn’t forgotten it’s principle marketing ploy is endless Limited Editions Veyrons, so they’ve turned up at the Dubai Motor Show with a trio of Grand Sport Limited Editions. However, its seems that having come up with endless names for its Limited Editions - Pur Sang, Fbg Par Hermès, Sang Noir, Bleu Centenaire… – and even three special Veyrons for Dubai three years ago – Veyron Nocturne, the Veyron Sang d’Argent and the Veyron Soleil de Nuit - Bugatti has run out of inspiration.

Jaguar Land Rover to create ANOTHER 1700 jobs

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

1700 new jobs created by JLR to build new smaller Jaguars like the Jaguar Crossover (pictured) We’ve reported on the creation of more and more jobs in recent years by Jaguar Land Rover as Land Rover’s products, in particular, drive forward. But Jaguar is soon to undergo a transformation as a new, smaller range of cars and crossovers join the current lineup of F-Type, XF, XJ and XK to emulate the sales success Land Rover is enjoying, particularly with the Range Rover Evoque. That means yet more new jobs at Land Rover – 1,700 at Solihull – taking the new jobs Jaguar has created in the last few years to 11,000 and an additional  £1.5 billion product creation investment.
