BMW 328: From Roadster to Legend

[Richard]

This is a nice, well illustrated book about the BMW 328 (328 pages!). Although not specifically about Bristols it has several pages about AFN, the Aldingtons and the early days of Bristol. It is a translation of the German original "BMW 328: vom Roadster zum Mythos". It can be obtained through Amazon and is well worth adding to your collection.

Amazon seem to want $250 for a used copy of this book. Your link to Bentley
has it at $79. Are the two books the same?

Just testing; to see if this works in an Apple environment. Kevin
advised ypu need to hit Reply, then use the marked space.

If my post about the German publishers got through, then it works for a Mac.

Vitessebooks (of Aachen, NRW, Germany) have this
at US$ 234.06, and this seems to be the
English-language edition from Copress Sport,
München (1996) -despite the German description.
To quote "Englischer Text. Natürlich 328 Seiten
!" It has the same number of pages as on the
Bentley link, incidentally, it weighs a hefty
1.8kg! Curiously, Copress Sport Verlag only has
Simons' early BMW book (up to 1932) on its own
site.

Maybe the Bentley website is not up to date since I guess the book is now
out of print. I bought my second-hand German version (published in 1996 by
BMW Mobile Tradition) a couple of years ago for 20 Euros from Amazon,
remakable value! Today I see it at 79 Euro, still good value. 250USD
plus/minus seems to be the going rate for the English version.

For some reason the version of this message that I got had a lot of HTML markup
in the beginning. Maybe the MIME packaging went wrong?
