Easily the most famous BMW motorcycle of the Second World War, the BMW R 75 was used all over Europe.  This book does the usual outstanding job of providing close-up photos of two types of restored R 75s: an early and a late.  Both bikes have sidecars and a full set of containers, all of which are also photographed in detail.  The final bits of the book cover a pair of trailers often pulled by R 75s. 

With models of this bike available in many scales, this book is an excellent reference for anyone who wants to add a bit of extra detailing or see just where all those kit parts go.
