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.
