Ford Australia - The Cars and the People That Built Them (hardcover)

Very Happy with content, BUT,Cover is very scuffed marked ,not shore if it happened in packaging or handling before packaging

A great book that arrived safely, overnight. It was extremely well packaged; fantastic service. Thank you.

Items came in great condition. Shipping was super fast. Delivery was fast.
My only complaint is on high shipping costs. Item value vas EUR55.66 and shipping vas EUR71.39.

My suggestion is that maybe seller could investigate if there are any cheaper shipping options to Europe.
In the end, for those who can cope with high shipping cost, highly recommended seller. I would definitely buy again.

Presentation and packaging is excellent. There was too much emphasis on the Falcon (which I can understand), and very little on other Ford vehicles. The book that I bought some years ago on the Holden was exactly what I was looking for; many color photos of all Holden vehicles, specifications, etc.

Fantastic book! Fantastic Service.....My order literally came the next day!

Thank you for a trouble free transaction.
Prompt postage and well wrapped book.
I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you once again.

I got 2 books from Australia all the way to China in 1 week. Olivia is a very nice lady. She helped me a lot. Best website to buy books!

fantastic book, worth every cent and so nicely made in hard cover and case, can't wait if they write a second book covering things that were left out!

This is a thick & handsome book with many photos & informative text. It does contain many small errors with dates & of placing photos not in the era being discussed. There is a great picture shown of the striking Australia only Model A colours but no explanation
provided. If only the text sections could be proof read by people who know their Ford models & history.
Some of the early car photos show US type LHD models which would have been better if RHD Australian produced [of which many photos do exist] but in saying, there are a very good range of local historical photos as well. I have only looked closely at the era 1925- 50 which is my interest on Ford Australia.
Overall, a very good book to have on Ford Australia.

This is the second copy I have purchased, and I bought this copy on behalf of a very good friend who worked for Ford Australia from 1944 - 1992.
He is most impressed.

This is a great publication! My main interest is in the early years,having had an interest in Ford history for over 50 years. I am very pleased to ad this one to my collection of Ford books. Michele and Doug have put together a lasting legacy to Ford Motor Co., Australia.

great book

After two months and eleven days I finally received my new book! It looks like a nice comprehensive book on Ford in Australia. It just takes a long time to get a book to Florida from Australia.

7/10. Be aware that many photos are simply those taken from the brochures, so we have seen much of them already. There are also quite a number of errors throughout, which does tend to indicate lazy research.

Top book. Credit to those involved in its publication.

Great book, a bit light on for the fifties tho.

Bought this book for a family member who has just purchased an XR8 Sprint. He has read through the first half of the book quite quickly. The early history of Ford Australia is very interesting. The book covers the history of various characters involved in bringing Fords to Australia, some moving the operation ahead, some costing it a lot. It also at least touches upon the various negotiations with government to help fund an Aussie car industry. Many things happened in that early history that one would not expect, making for an interesting account. Also of course the book covers the history of the mighty Falcon, and the changes that the Aussies made from the very outset to make the Aussie Falcon a substantially better car than the US Falcon it was originally derived from.

The later history of Ford he has not read yet, but for that early history alone its worth 4 stars. The book is also very well presented, and makes an excellent gift.

I work at Ford Motor Co & tried all the usual outlets. Was so pleased I found someone who sold this incredible book detailing the history of Ford Motor Company at a sensible, non-inflated price.

Great book - awesome photos

Great book about a great Australian Story

Ordered a book online, paid very quickly and easily and bang, next thing I come home Saturday afternoon and there it is waiting for me. Only took a couple of days. Great stuff guys and girls

delivery was quick and the book was well packaged

Excellent well detailed read.

This is an excellent book, which has been well researched and well put together. The already well known history of Ford Australia is interspersed with lots of anecdotes from employees, giving an insight into the Ford Australia working experience. Apart from more photos being included (l know they culled 6,000 photos down to 600), the only downside to this wonderful book, is the minor errors which can crop up in books of this magnitude. For example, the authors state that the 1932 Ford vehicles were titled Model B (4 cyl) and Model B18 (V8), whereas in reality the V8 was titled Model 18. This error is repeated throughout the book.
Overall though, this is a magnificent addition to the library of any automotive enthusiast.

Loved the images and the stories. A great read.
