Remember when petrol cost 38.4p a litre? Recall the year Ford unveiled the Fiesta hatchback and Austin Rover became the Rover Group with its new 200. A brand new compilation of columns, features and road tests by award-winning motoring writer Eric Dymock has just been published.
For the first time Eric’s extensive archives from 1989 are available to download as an e-book, titled Eric Dymock on Cars 1989. The e-book highlights the 100 Best Cars, motoring columns, features on automotive developments, road tests and topical reports from the final year of the 1980s.
This new e-book provides a unique insight into motoring history as Eric has provided modern comments on his reflections from 1989. Highlights of Eric Dymock on Cars 1989 include:
- Accounts from motor shows across the globe in 1989, including Geneva, Tokyo, London and Frankfurt.
- Golden Boy of the track whose legend lives on; the 30th anniversary of the accident that claimed the life of 1959 World Champion Mike Hawthorn.
- Safety campaigners and environmentalists tried to prohibit sales of fast cars. France and California debated laws suggesting cars should be designed with speed restrictors.
- An automatic pilot for cars is practical. “Driving along motorways without electronic controls will be seen in years to come as savage and dangerous,” said Sir Clive Sinclair.
This full-length anthology is available to download to Kindles from Amazon for an introductory £1.31, or on to ipads and androids as well as other reading tablets from itunes or online bookstores. Eric Dymock on Cars 1989 can also be viewed on PCs, Macs, ipods or iphones by downloading the free Kindles app from Amazon.
