| | From the Foreword: “In this meticulously researched and fascinating book, Brian Thackray has breathed life into the early years of a company that would become the 'Builders of London's Buses', despite the many misgivings of Lord Ashwell, the prime architect of London's road and underground transport system. Many times in my years at Southall, I longed to know more about the early history of the Company and of the men who built it into a world famous manufacturer of trucks, buses and diesel engines.” Contents:
