Maserati – luxe, sport et prestige

par Martin Buckley

De nos jours, Maserati va de l’avant et tout indique que cela va continuer. Mais ça a rarement été le cas dans l’histoire de la marque vieille de 90 ans, à cause de nombreux dirigeants qui avaient des idées différentes et ce livre en raconte les tenants et les aboutissants.

MGB, MGC & MGB GT V8, La grande sportive britannique

by David Knowles

Aston Martin, coupés & cabriolets depuis 1948

DS miniatures de mon enfance

by Renaud Siry

Henri Chapron

While always current in terms of popular taste, Chapron’s designs were not flashy or avant-garde but sober and of restrained elegance. During the peak years of 1928–31 their output reached a lofty 500 cars a year.

Bandini

by Franco Fabbri & Cesare Sangiorgi

Ilario, that is, not Lorenzo, the ill-fated Ferrari pilot. Ilario (1911–1992), known as “Lili” to his close friends, was a remarkable man who during the course of some 30 years created the jewel-like Bandini sports racers.

Delage, France’s Finest Car

by Daniel Cabart, Claude Rouxel, David Burgess-Wise

The serious literature on this marque is quite thin and this book goes a long way toward painting a definitive picture of the entire lifespan of the company, not just the glamour decade from the late 1920s onwards.
