A compact, illustrated history of the British Motor Industry.
Austin, Hillman, Morris, Standard and Wolseley are just a few of the myriad marques that once constituted Britain's indigenous motor industry. Born in 1896 into the high summer of Victorian prosperity, the industry survived until the collapse of MG Rover in 2005. Why did motor manufacturing follow the British motorcycle, bicycle and cotton industries into oblivion?
Jonathan Wood chronicles the car industry's century-long life, from the production of hand-made bespoke automobiles for the fortunate few to the arrival of mass production to provide cars for the many. He looks at the factories and the people who worked in them, and examines the role played by the component manufacturers that serviced the industry.
Featuring photographs and illustrations behind the scenes of the British automobile industry, this is the ideal companion for motorheads, amateur historians and anyone interested in 20th-century industrial history.
