BMC Farina Cars In Detail (inbunden, eng)

In the late1950s, BMC commissioned Italian styling house Pinin Farina to unify the look ofits expanding car range. The result was a family of neatly styled saloons thatwould define British roads for more than a decade. Sold under six differentmarques – Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas – the BMC Farinamodels shared styling cues and many mechanical components, but were carefullydifferentiated for different markets.

 From the compactAustin A40 Farina to the roomy Vanden Plas Princess, these were cars for everyoccasion – fleet, family, and formal. Today, they are appreciated both fortheir understated elegance and their significance in postwar British motoring.  Surprisingly,despite their popularity and visibility at the time, these cars have never beenfully documented in a single volume – until now.

In this richly illustratedbook, renowned historian Anders Ditlev Clausager tells the full story of theFarina cars, from design and development to production and marketing. Drawingon factory records and period sources, he provides the first comprehensiveaccount of these once-ubiquitous vehicles, including all models, variants andevolutions across the full production run.
