118 pages, with more than 60 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under the similar title The Book of Reliant by J. Thorpe, this book is one of a series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England. This re-print of the amended 1970 edition includes repair, maintenance and overhaul information for the Reliant Regal MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4, MK5, MK6, 3/25 & 3/30 from 1952 through the 1973 model year. The entire content of this publication is devoted to the operation, maintenance, overhaul and adjustment of all the major mechanical and electrical components. Consequently, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete renovation. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Reliant Regal owners, restorers and enthusiasts worldwide.

186 pages, and more than 150 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three original factory publications. The first is a reproduction of the 108 page 'Workshop Instruction Manual' for the 1957-64 Lightweight and Heavyweight singles and the twin cylinder models. The second is a reproduction of the 12 page 'Supplementary Instruction Book for Competition Models'. The third is a 60 page 'Instruction Book' combination that is exclusive to the 1958-1966 G2, G5, 14 and 8 Lightweight 250cc and 350cc singles. While the reprint of the original 108 page AMC workshop manual states that it is appropriate for the 1957-1964 models, it actually covers the entire line of AJS and Matchless 250cc to 650cc Lightweight and Heavyweight singles and 500cc to 650cc twins manufactured by AMC through 1966 (see below). Please note that it does not include the 750cc AMC G15/45 (1962-63) or the later Norton/AJS/ Matchless G15 hybrids. Owners of these 750cc hybrids are directed to the 'Norton 1966-70 Lightweight & Heavyweight Twins' workshop manual, ISBN 9781588502421 as it includes significant maintenance and repair information on those models. While the single cylinder machines are always considered the backbone of AMC's post-war production, in 1948 they introduced a 500cc twin cylinder, the AJS model 20 and Matchless G9. However, it was 1957 before that singular model was joined by a number of additional 500cc, 600cc and 650cc twins. In 1958 they also added two 'lightweight' singles to their well respected line of 'heavyweight' singles. Unfortunately, by the mid 1960's, along with most British motorcycle manufacturers, AMC was struggling to compete with the flood of Japanese imports and by 1966, the AMC conglomerate had collapsed. While the reason is mired in mergers, finances, consolidation, politics and worker unrest, both the AJS and Matchless name continued onward, under license, until early 1970, at which point both marques were history. 1957-1966 Lightweight and Heavyweight Singles and Twins covered in this manual are as follows: A.J.S. Models AJS 250cc Lightweight Singles: 14, 14CS, 14S, 14CSR AJS 350cc Lightweight Singles: 8 AJS 350cc Heavyweight Singles: 16MS, 16, 16C, 16MC, 16MCS, 16S AJS 500cc Heavyweight Singles: 18S, 18, 18CSAJS 500cc Twins: 20, 20CS, 20CSR (Also covers the earlier AJS 20 from 1948 onwards) AJS 600cc Twins: 30, 30CS (Also covers the 1955/56 AJS 30)AJS 650cc Twins: 31, 31CS, 31CSR, 650 TwinMatchless Models Matchless 250cc Lightweight Singles: G2, G2CS, G2S, G2CSRMatchless 350cc Lightweight Singles: G5 Matchless 350cc Heavyweight Singles: G3LS, G3, G3C, G3LCS, G3S Matchless 500cc Heavyweight Singles: G80S, G80, G80CSMatchless 600cc Heavyweight Single: TCS.

128 pages, with more than 90 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under the similar title The Book of Bond Minicar by R.H. Warring, this book is one of a series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England. This re-print of the revised 1968 third edition includes repair, maintenance and overhaul information for the Bond Mark A, B, C, D, E, F and G models from their 1948 introduction through September 1967. While the primary focus is on those models powered by Villiers engines, technical data for the 875 and 875 Ranger models is also included. The entire content of this publication is devoted to the operation, maintenance, overhaul and adjustment of all the major mechanical and electrical components. Consequently, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete renovation. In addition, there is also a comprehensive chapter on modifications for the Mark A, B and C models and information on body repair. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Bond Minicar owners, restorers and enthusiasts worldwide.

212 pages, with more that 140 illustrations and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Perhaps the most complete publication ever published for the overhaul, repair and maintenance of the Puch Maxi 'N' and 'S' models beginning with their 1969 UK introduction. This manual is a compilation of 3 major publications including: (1) A reprint of the 1974 edition of 'The Book of the Puch Maxi' (2) A reproduction of the 1977 Maxi factory 'Instructions Manual' and (3) a reproduction of the illustrated1976 Rigid, Maxi, Maxi-S and Newport factory 'Spare Parts Catalogue'. The Maxi moped was sold in the US by Sears and JC Penney and in Canada by Bombardier. While the primary focus of this manual is the single-speed 'N' and 'S' models there were only minor mechanical changes made during the entire production run up through the mid 1980's and, as such, it will also be of use to owners of the later single speed models. Please note that the reprint of the 'Book of the Puch Maxi' (originally published under the same title by R. H. Warring) is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England.

190 pages, and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three factory publications including the owner's instruction manual, the parts/spares manual and a set of service sheets. These publications cover all three variations of the 175cc two-stroke and the 250cc four-stroke and electric start models manufactured from 1959-1965. Neither BSA nor Triumph ever published a workshop manual for these models, however, the combination of these three publications provides the most comprehensive maintenance and repair information that was ever made available from the manufacturer.MANUALS & TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS: Maintenance, repair and service information was issued under both the BSA and Triumph name. However, as the machines were identical in all aspects, any technical documentation can be applied to either manufacturer without hesitation.SERVICE SHEETS: Beginning in December 1959, both BSA and Triumph began publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual (dealer only) 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that it was never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public. However, they were eventually combined into a single publication and released under both the BSA and Triumph names, the contents being identical in either case. INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Both BSA and Triumph published an identical 'Instruction Manual' the only difference being the name on the front cover. These publications were somewhat more detailed than typical 'owner's manuals' as they included overhaul information in addition to general maintenance and adjustments. As these instruction manuals were included with each new scooter purchased, there were a number of 'editions' published during the lifetime of the model, however, the contents remained basically unchanged. When combined with the 'Service Sheets' they are a reasonable substitute for a workshop manual. PARTS (or) SPARES MANUAL: The parts manuals are also identical and include exploded component diagrams that are extremely helpful in the rebuilding or restoration process.ADDITIONAL DATA: There is an addendum to the rear of this manual that contains a number of communications that were sent from the UK factory to their US distributors. These documents are somewhat rare and they may be of help in assisting in the maintenance of one of these machines.DESIGN & GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: Designed by Edward Turner (Triumph) and sold under both BSA and Triumph brand names to take advantage of established distribution networks, this badge engineering was one of the last uses of the Sunbeam name. The differences between the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress were entirely cosmetic-the former in polychromatic green paint, also two-tone red and cream, with a BSA badge; the latter in a shell blue or mimosa and ivory (two-tone) with a Triumph badge.Introduced in late 1959, the scooter was available with a 250 cc four-stroke twin (10hp), or 175cc two-stroke single cylinder engine (7.5hp). Both engines were forced-air-cooled. The two-stroke was a development of the BSA Bantam engine but the four-stroke was a completely new parallel-twin with a gear drive to the gearbox. The contact-breaker fed two separate ignition coils, each of which connected directly to its own spark plug without the need for a distributor. Drive to the rear wheel was by a fully enclosed chain in an oil bath. Both versions had four, foot-operated gears. Some of the 250 twins were fitted with an electric starter and a 12 volt (not 6 volt) electrical system, they were identified as either B2S (Sunbeam) or TW2S (Triumph). The 250 cc four-stroke model was discontinued in 1964 and the 175cc two-stroke model in 1965.

More than 550 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that BSA never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public, they were 'dealer only' publications and the print quality was at times somewhat questionable. It was not until the early 1960's that BSA eventually started publishing model specific workshop manuals that were available to the general public. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the mid 1960's. The most complete compilation of the 1945 and onwards service sheets was issued by BSA in the form of a 'dealer only' ringbinder that contained 166 individual service sheets (516 pgs) for the entire range of 1945 thru 1967 motorcycles. It is extremely difficult to find. It is this ring-bound publication that was used to create this 'Service Sheets Master Catalogue'. It includes every service sheet issued/updated by BSA from 1945 until the Service Sheet program was discontinued in the mid 1960's, models covered are as follows: A7 & A10 1947-62B31-B32-B33 and B34 1945-60 (Inc. Gold Star & competition models)C10-C10L-C11-C11G and C12 1945-58C15-C15T-C15S-C15SS and B40 1958-67D1-D3-D5 and D7 (Bantam) 1948-66M20-M21 and M33 1945-63Dandy 1956-62 At some point in the 1930's, BSA adopted the practice of identifying their various model types by 'groups' and the models manufactured from 1945 through the mid 1960's were in Groups A, B, C, D and M. The service sheets that were associated to a particular group were identified numerically and, while there were some exceptions due to overlapping data between models, in general terms the numbers relate to a particular model group. They are as follows: The 200 series of service sheets were applicable to Group A models, the 300 series to Group B, the 400 series to Group C, the 500 series to Group D and the 600 series to Group M. In addition, there were a 700 series applicable to mechanical maintenance and an 800 series for electronic service and wiring diagrams. Both the 700 and 800 series of service sheets contained information that was not model specific but was applicable across multiple model groups. Finally, there were a 900 series for the BSA Dandy and a 1000 series for the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress scooter. The 1000 series sheets were published under the generic title, 'Scooter Service Sheet'. These sheets did not display either company logo and they were never intended to be included in the ring-bound dealer album. Unfortunately, as these service sheets were issued individually and at random times, the numbering sequence within any group is, at times, illogical and not necessarily consecutive. Consequently, owners of BSA motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of reprints that have recently flooded the online marketplace. Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles.

This manual includes the 27 service sheets (84 pages) published by BSA under part number 00-4020. However, an additional 15 service sheets have been added from that 'dealer only' publication, to produce a single manual containing 42 service sheets (150 pages) that cover the 1948 to 1966 rigid, spring frame, swing arm D1, D3, D5 and D7 Bantam. Obviously, as the 1966 D10 and the 1968 to1970 D14 models share many mechanical similarities with the D7, this manual will also be of use to owners of those later models. Please note that service sheets other than those in the 500 series that are included in this publication may also contain data that is applicable to 'other' model groups, as that was the original intention. For additional information the reader is directed to 'The Book of the BSA Bantam' (ISBN 9781588502100) which covers all Bantam models from 1948 to 1971.

These 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the early 1960's.

440 pages, with more than 900 black & white illustrations, 7.4 x 9.7 inches 18.8 x 24.6 cm. an anthology of some of the 'other' groups that were part of the 1960's 'Merseybeat' era. However, it is not possible to consider this book without reference to Manfred's previous publication, 'Beat Waves 'Cross the Mersey' (ISBN 9781588502018). This 2021 revised edition of the previous 2013 publication chronicles the stories of an additional 110 Merseyside groups, plus 133 line-ups that were not included in 'Beat Waves 'Cross the Mersey'. The combination of both books accounts for more than 825 'Merseybeat' groups that Manfred has researched and documented. As such, this publication should be considered to be a companion volume to 'Beat Waves 'Cross the Mersey'. While most people are familiar with the 'Beatles', there is a universal misconception that they invented the 'Mersey Sound' that later became known as 'Merseybeat'. However, nothing could be further from the truth as 'Merseybeat' was 'under construction' long before the 'Beatles' exploded onto the scene. While not in any way attempting to detract from their ability, it is important that anyone interested in that era gives consideration to the other groups that were the backbone of this phenomenon. 'Merseybeat' was a product created by the many hundreds of Liverpool groups and those from the surrounding areas that played there. So, here are the complete stories of another 110 'Merseybeat' groups, the names of some of them may be unfamiliar to those that were not part of the era. Regardless, it is a fascinating insight into one of the greatest musical revolutions of the 20th century.

The factory publications included are: The 350GTR 'Technical Handbook' (Workshop Manual) publication number T7350E. The 350GTR 'Parts Catalogue' publication number P7350WO. The 350GTO 'Parts Catalogue' publication number P9350GTOWO, plus the appropriate pages from 'Tuning Up for Competition' publication number L8TUP. During the time they were in production, Bridgestone (Motorcycles) published 'Technical Handbooks' or, more appropriately, 'Workshop Manuals' for their various models. These factory issued workshop manuals were produced in small quantities and are scarce and difficult to find in today's market. In addition, the factory also published 'Parts Catalogues' which included exploded parts diagrams that are a useful tool for restoration work or even general maintenance tasks. These factory 'Parts Catalogues' were also re-printed by Rockford Motors but, unfortunately, many of the diagrams were reduced in size (some to less than a quarter page) making the details difficult to see. This manual also includes a re-print of the original factory 'Bridgestone350 GTR & 350GTO Parts Catalogues' with full page exploded parts diagrams. Rockford Motors also published repair 'manuals' but, unfortunately, the quality of the images were degraded in the re-print process (that was available at that time) and some of them are so poor that they are of little use. By utilizing both the original factory 'Technical Handbook' and 'Parts Catalogues' in the production of this combined manual, we have hopefully provided the reader with quality enhanced images that are far superior to those in the earlier Rockford reprints. As can be expected from a factory publication, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing or even a complete mechanical renovation making it an invaluable resource for collectors of these iconic motorcycles and we are pleased to be able to offer this reprint as a service to all Bridgestone 350GTR & 350GTO owners and enthusiasts worldwide.

In 1952, Floyd Clymer published the first in a two-part series of motorcycle road test books that had originally appeared in the UK magazine, Motor Cycle. Obviously, these road tests focused on UK manufactured machines and European models that had UK distributors. The initial 1952 publication was followed by a second in 1954 that, in addition to motorcycle road tests, also included scooter, three wheeler and cyclemotor tests. With 120 pages, profusely illustrated with 226 images plus specifications and performance information for each model, this publication combines both the 1952 and 1954 books into a single edition that includes 49 Motorcycle, 2 Scooter, 2 Three Wheeler and 7 Cyclemotor road tests. At the time of publication, these books generated little interest with US motorcycle enthusiasts as Harley Davidson and Indian were the most widely accepted forms of two-wheel transportation. US based distributors of UK machines were scarce and the imports from Japan were still a number of years in the future. However, many of the motorcycles tested are extremely collectible today and independent road tests such as these, which were conducted at the time when these models were first introduced, will be of interest to owners of those machines as they highlight the pros and cons of each model and provide a unique comparison to their competitors. The front cover of this book provides a detailed list of the machines featured in the individual road tests. However, the various manufacturers included are as follows. MOTORCYCLES: Ariel, Bown, B.S.A., D.M.W., Dot, Excelsior, Francis-Barnett, Greeves, Indian (Brave), James, Norman, Norton, Royal Enfield, Sunbeam, Tandon, Triumph, Velocette & Vincent. SCOOTERS: Vespa & Lambretta. 3 WHEELERS: Bond & Reliant. CYCLEMOTORS: Berini, Cucciolo, Mini-Motor, Velo-Solex, Cyclemaster, Power Pak & B.S.A. Winged Wheel.
