Haynes Publishing have put together a must-have Desk Diary for 2009. One week to view,there is a planner for each month which has dedicated to it an incredible cutaway illustration of a classic car from the 1960s,1970s,or 1980s. Represented in Terry Davey’s unmistakable style are the Peugeot 205 (January),Ford Escort Mexico (February),Datsun 280 ZX (March),Rover 3500 (April),Pontiac Firebird(May), and seven more. There is short history that goes with each monthly illustration which tell of models,engines and relevant dates,and other fascinating information for the motoring enthusiast.

Terry Davey worked for Haynes Publishing for 40 years, a period which included the last decades of the twentieth century. His amazing cutaways were drawn in pen and ink,using the basic draughtsman’s tools for curves and lines.

You can be amazed all year round in 2009 with this very fine publication,hardcover bound with an MG Sports car depicted on the cover. Maybe you owned a Hillman Imp (August), or a BMW E3 saloon (December); or, you know someone who did.
