British Lorries Since 1945

The British commercial motor vehicle manufacturing history stretches back more than 100 years, reaching its peak in the post - war era of the late 1940s to the 1960s. This was a period when the classic British manufacturers such as Leyland, Foden, Atkinson, Bedford, Thornycroft and Seddon dominated our roads and although long since disappeared are still fondly remembered today. This is a highly illustrated compendium of British truck manufacturers of that period. Organised on a manufacturer by manufacturer basis, the authors' informed history of each manufacturer is illustrated by a representative selection of the vehicles produced by each manufacturer.
