96 pages, 57 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under the title, The Book of the Villiers Engine, by C. Grange. This book is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England.
This re-print of the 1969 revised thirteenth edition was selected as being an important edition as it includes detailed information on the later Villiers engines including the 6F, 31C, 2L, 9E, 10E, 31, 32, 32A, 34A, 2T, 3T and the Siba Dynastart unit. Some of the more popular earlier units such as the 4F, 12D, 29C, 30C, 7E & 8E are also covered in detail.
However, individuals seeking additional information on the earlier Villiers engines such as the 2F, 4F, 30C, 29C, 29C/4, 8E, 8E/4, 8E/R, 7E, 7E/4, 1H & 28B are directed to our other Villiers publication ISBN 9781588501844 which also includes a chapter on the Villiers powered 3-wheel Bond, Gordon and A.C. Petite cars.
The first edition of the Motorcyclists Library 'Book of the Villiers Engine' was published in 1929 and subsequently revised and published through numerous editions. The two editions re-printed by VelocePress were chosen as being the most comprehensive as they cover both a broad model range and extensive time-line of Villiers engines.
This publication has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years and is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market. We are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Villiers motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.
