Looking for BMC, BL etc history book

[Dom]

Does anyone know any books that tell the complete history of BMC, British Leyland and all the rest?

I'd love to find one that covers the models from the various brands.

Anything good to look out for?

Have some pics.

I don't know of any books personaly - but try www.AROnline.co.uk for a start (contains some book tips as well )

There's this one that covers the BMC era, so all the fifties and sixties models.

edit: Dom, I presume including a photo of a Sunbeam Tiger, very nice though it is was probably an error

Thanks for the tips!

When I saw the Tiger it made me think "curse word that's the biz!" and thus forgot what the point of the photos was.

8-)If you can find a copy of this:

Out of print now AFAIK, but a cracking read. Sharratt tells the entire story of Longbridge up to about 2000, largely through interviews with the guys from boardroom to shop floor. A brilliant book.

Or (again out of print but copies crop up at autojumbles from time to time) alternatively Jeff Daniels' 'British Leyland: The Truth About The Cars' is well worth a look.
