Rx-7 Mazdas Rotary Engine Sports Car by Brian Long
New edition of the definitive international history of Mazdas extraordinarily successful Wankel-engined coupes and roadsters, up to the end of production and the introduction of the RX-8. Advice on buying your own RX-7, plus coverage of the RX-7 in motorsport, and production figures. Heavily illustrated in colour.
Revised for the third edition, Brian Long's expertise in the Japanese car market comes into play with an exploration of Mazda's once-definitive modelMany archive images and development details have been added since the second edition, and it is truly astonishing to take in the long gestation of the RX-7 after the impact of the Cosmo. Fans of 1960s futurism, 1970s fantasy and 1980s technology will be pulled into the diversity of concepts that lead to the production cars. There's a little personal story, but for the most part this is a factual gathering of development, marketing and evolution and will delight technical enthusiasts. - Classic Car Weekly.
Born in Coventry, the heart of Britain's motor industry, Brian comes from a family with a proud heritage in the automotive and aviation fields. He trained as a mechanical engineer, and worked for a time at his father's garage. Brian became heavily involved in the classic car scene at 19, and says he turned to writing by accident. He now writes full-time and, since 1990, when his first book was released, he has had over 80 titles published. Brian and his wife, Miho, have two children, Louis and Sophie-Mercedes. They currently live in Chiba, close to Tokyo, where they can enjoy life with their Dobermann and a Thoroughbred racehorse, now retired from the tracks.
