Promoted as \"the silent sports car\", these cars proved to be an extraordinary success due to their performance and manners, the excellence of their engineering and construction, the wonderfully attractive coachwork offered on the Bentley chassis, and the association of the Bentley with the illustrious reputation of Rolls-Royce. After outlining the story of Bentley Motors and the Rolls-Royce takeover, the author gives a thoroughgoing account of Rolls-Royce's search for a car with which to relaunch Bentley before the earlier glories began to fade. Then he gives a highly detailed technical analysis of the 3 1\/2 Litre, covering every aspect of the chassis, running gear, engine and transmission. This is followed by equivalent coverage of the succeeding 4 1\/2 Litre and the short-lived Mark V.Each of these receives comprehensive treatment, including information on differences from previous models, revisions, the range of bodies available from coachbuilders, performance and behaviour, and appearances in competitive events. There are also chapters on using the cars today and on the practicalities of ownership, with advice on parts availability, maintenance and preservation. The 70 colour photographs, some of them specially commissioned, feature outstanding examples of the coachbuilder's art, and are backed up by some 140 images from the archives.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295589642613,"sku":"9780954106317","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780954106317_d5e50371-f11e-4bbc-8127-9086d342efc2.jpg?v=1786015973"},{"product_id":"guitar-basics-repertoire","title":"Guitar Basics Repertoire","description":"\u003cp\u003eContaining over forty pieces, \u003cstrong\u003eGuitar Basics Repertoire\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a rich and varied mixture of folksongs from around the world (\u003cem\u003eAura Lee, Sakura\u003c\/em\u003e), classical tunes (\u003cem\u003eBizet - March of the Kings, J.

The company was bought by David Brown in 1947, and in 1950 he launched the all-new DB2 with a brilliant engine designed by W.O. Bentley. The car was a sleek, beautiful and fast two-seater closed coupe of the highest pedigree and led to the highly successful DB3 and DB3S racers, which were entered by the works at Le Mans, Sebring and elsewhere, driven by star drivers from Stirling Moss to Roy Salvadori. All these Aston Martins are examined and analysed in detail here, with specially commissioned colour photography of seven outstanding examples of this rare, expensive and exotic breed of sporting motor car. The author is Librarian of the Vintage Sports Car Club and has written two previous titles in this series as well as the authoritative A-Z of British Coachbuilders. * Fully illustrated: with over 250 colour and black-and-white photographs * Models covered: DB1 1948-50, DB2 1950-53, DB2\/4 1953-55, DB2\/4 MkII 1955-57, DB2\/4 MkIII 1957-59, plus Competition models DB3 1951-53 and DB3S 1953-56","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483469029749,"sku":"9780954106331","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780954106331.jpg?v=1786178636"},{"product_id":"neurodiversity-in-clinical-psychology-and-counseling","title":"Neurodiversity in Clinical Psychology and Counseling","description":"The neurodiversity paradigm is a rapidly emerging framework that is reshaping psychotherapy, education, health care, and public policy. This paradigm recognizes that variation in neurocognitive functioning is a natural and valuable form of human diversity. Rather than treating differences in cognition as deficits to be corrected, it emphasizes understanding and supporting the unique needs, strengths, and experiences of neurocognitive minority groups.   This edited volume brings together chapters by twenty experienced professionals in psychotherapy and related fields who have been pioneers in applying the neurodiversity paradigm in clinical and therapeutic practice. Informed by their work with autistic clients and other neurominority populations, contributors present insights, approaches, and evolving best practices for more ethical and affirming care.   An essential resource for clinicians, counselors, educators, and students, this book offers practical guidance and forward-looking perspectives that will help shape the next generation of neurodiversity-informed professional practice.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555414188405,"sku":"9781324083122","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-nick-walker.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
