Offers explanations as to why motor manufacturing followed the British motorcycle, bicycle and cotton industries into oblivion. This book chronicles the 109-year life of The Rover Group from its production of hand-made bespoke automobiles for the fortunate few to the arrival of mass production to provide cars for the many.
Austin, Hillman, Morris, Standard and Wolseley were a handful of the myriad marques that once constituted Britain''s indigenous motor industry. Born in 1896 into the high summer of Victorian prosperity, the native British industry survived until the collapse of The Rover Group in 2005. Jonathan Wood chronicles this industry''s 109-year life, from its 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. Wood also offers explanations as to why motor manufacturing followed the British motorcycle, bicycle and cotton industries into oblivion.
