Description
The British Motor Industry by Jonathan Wood A comprehensive history of Britain's indigenous motor industry, from its early days to its eventual decline. This book explores the production of bespoke automobiles for the elite and the mass production of cars for the masses, examining the role of factories, component manufacturers, and the people who worked in them. The industry's 109-year life is marked by significant events and changes, including the collapse of The Rover Group in 2005. Wood provides a detailed account of the industry's development, shedding light on why motor manufacturing ultimately followed the British motorcycle, bicycle, and cotton industries into oblivion. By examining the industry's history, this book offers valuable insights into Britain's industrial past and the factors that contributed to its decline.
