They had to: Japanese quality and European design were luring away ever more customers. Features such as fuel injection, turbochargers, computer-controlled systems and four-wheel drive became commonplace. This was also the decade that brought us the people-carrier and the off-roader, new classes of car that radically reshaped family transport. Meanwhile, seatbelt-wearing became law, the M25 opened, speed cameras appeared and ram-raiding was the new motoring nemesis. Relive everything car-related in Britain in the 1980s with Giles Chapman.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMOTOR CARS: GENERAL INTEREST. Spanning four decades, the Reliant Robin was a familiar, if eccentric, fixture on Britain's roads; an object of amusement to those who didn't understand its ultra-thrifty ways and a source of pride to the many thousands of owners who did. During a time of deep recession in 1970s Britain, this stylish little car from Tamworth became a massive hit, boasting low fuel consumption and cheap tax. Reliant couldn't make them fast enough, until a culture of more sophisticated car buyers saw it go into eventual decline. From its beginnings in 1973 to its demise almost thirty years later, Giles Chapman traces the colourful history of the most famous and iconic three-wheeled car in Britain.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis latest book from Giles Chapman celebrates the fascinating lives of 50 amazing, memorable and often quirky characters, who all added significantly to the culture of cars and motoring in a wide variety of often surprising ways. These curious car tales encompass both men and women, some famous, some lesser known. This is not the place to find biographies of Henry Ford or Enzo Ferrari, towering figures who have been written about to excess already, but stop here to learn about the life of the stunt driver who crops up in so many 70s films you will be stunned not to know his name; great racing drivers such as Mary Davies; Nils Bohlin, the seatbelt inventor who saved millions of lives; as well as many designers, stylists, company founders, importers, experts and larger than life salesmen, plus some very car obsessed movie stars and producers. The modern car scene would have looked very different without these impactful individuals.
