The book contains more than 400 photographs - some published for the first time ever - of JCB and its iconic machinery.
JCB chairman Lord Bamford said: “This book, I hope, will act as a celebration of the past 75 years: the innovations, the engineering excellence, and the achievements of all those who have made up the wider JCB family from its inception in 1945.
“I hope, too, that it will serve as inspiration for the next generation – those talented young people currently rising through the colleges and universities, including our very own JCB Academy.”
Published by Porter Press International and priced at £20, the book includes details of JCB's first trailer, produced from post-war scrap metal in 1945 to the latest award-winning electric mini-digger, and features a collection of images from the company’s own archives.

The book's author Martin Port has worked as a graphic designer, writer and photographer, and was the art editor and contributing journalist to Classic & Sports Car for 16 years.
