This is a unique account of a turbulent period in trucking history, the 1970s, which witnessed major changes and a number of amalgamations, mergers and takeovers that changed the face of the pan-European trucking industry.

The book, British and European Trucks of the 1970s, covers the birth of the infamous British Leyland empire, which was to have far-reaching and disastrous consequence, and the ‘too little, too late, heavyweight models from Ford and Bedford.
