Lorries in Britain: The 1990s cover

A visual exploration of the lorry scene in the UK during the 1990s, featuring rare images and insights into the industry's evolution.

The book Lorries in Britain: The 1990s offers a unique glimpse into the lorry scene of Great Britain during a transformative decade. With a collection of rare and previously unpublished images, it captures the essence of the 1990s, a period marked by significant changes in the transportation industry. British manufacturers faced challenges as they struggled to keep pace with the influx of imported vehicles, which reshaped the market landscape. Despite these changes, many vehicles that enthusiasts now regard as classics continued to operate diligently, showcasing their reliability and charm.

As the UK navigated this evolving environment, numerous companies began experimenting with new models, often pitting them against established brands in head-to-head comparisons. This exploration of innovation and tradition is vividly illustrated through the book's extensive photographic documentation. The images not only highlight the vehicles themselves but also the culture and communities surrounding them, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the era's lorry scene.

In Lorries in Britain: The 1990s, readers will find more than just a visual record; they will discover a narrative that reflects the resilience and adaptability of the industry. This book serves as a fantastic tribute to a decade that many enthusiasts remember fondly, making it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of British transportation.

'This is an excellent book and thanks to the excellent preservation scene here in the UK, many of the lorries featured in the book can still be seen on road runs and at events around the country.' -- Heritage Commercials Magazine, August 2023
