Lee Noble Supercar Genius by Chris Catto.
You'll know the name Noble. Ever since the M10 and M12 wowed the press in 1999, the marque has taken its place within the British sports car landscape alongside the likes of Lotus, TVR, and Morgan. But what do you know of the man behind the brand?
He didn't appear from nowhere. The Lee Noble story is a biographical look at the rise, stumbles, and falls on the path to widespread recognition. From club motorsport racer to car designer and kit car manufacturer, and finally founder of his eponymous car company, Lee Noble has experienced epic highs and desperate lows.
Specialist car manufacture is a notoriously precarious business, and you need a combination of talent and tenacity just to survive. Yet no matter how fraught his career path has sometimes been, one thing has remained constant: every car to have originated from Noble's drawing board has been highly capable.
Ultima, Midtec, Ascari, Noble ... all those names will resonate with those who have a fondness for specialist British sports cars. And while he may have departed from the company that bears his name, Noble's story is not over yet.

Roy Smith’s first hard cover limited edition of Porsche - The Racing 914s, published in 2016, was much more popular than we ever imagined. Selling out completely, many fans of this remarkable, and perhaps unlikely racing car, missed out on the chance to own this fantastic title, so we've published a new revised soft cover edition.
Porsche – The Racing 914s is a study in pictures, statistics, factory information, and interviews, that shows the 914 in a whole new light. Originally a hardback limited edition which has long since sold out, this richly illustrated book is now available in a revised paperback form, and is a must have for all Porsche 914 and racing enthusiasts.

This is a book that we’ve been itching to get back onto the bookshelves. From the late, great Graham Robson comes the definitive history of the Rover company and its products. Tracing the history of the Rover company right back to the Starley family’s Coventry-made bicycles of the 1870s, Graham delves deeply into the records and talks to many people who have been connected with Rover cars since the 1930s. What unfolds is a fascinating account of the men who directed the company’s fortunes, of their vision and of their occasional lapses. The company’s impressive record is analysed here in this probing, truthful yet affectionate look at one of the greatest names in the British motor industry.

The first title in a brand-new Great British Cars series from Veloce, is now available. This handy volume details the ADO16 – code name of the Austin Morris 1100/1300 range of cars.
This book is something of a celebration of the ADO16. Back in the day these cars were best sellers: they gave lots of British families their first truly modern, stylish and practical car, and were reliable, economical and roomy all-rounders.
With over a million cars sold in the UK between 1962 and 1973 the ADO16s were pretty much the 'Universal British Cars' of the time and were present in every city, town, and village, and on every country road and trunk route in the ’60s.
So let us and this book celebrate one of the British Motor Industry’s forgotten successes, the car that built on the success of the Mini to provide Britain and the rest of the world with a little gem of a motor, which was the perfect family saloon car of the time.
Covering the complete range of main models and their MG, Riley and Vanden Plas derivatives, this looks at the mechanical design and development, as well as placing them in context within both BMC and the market.
