This title was first published in 2000: Coventry is synonymous with
both the creation and relative decline of the British motor car
industry. This volume utilises the extensive range of primary
sources on the subject to explore the relationship between the car
industry in its local context and the wider economic, social and
political environment. It analyses the emergence and early
dominance of Coventry's motor manufacturers, the rise of volume
production in the 1930s and the instabilities and renaissance of
the post-war era. Specific chapters deal with the industry's
response to the demands created by the two world wars. A number of
themes run throughout the book including the structure of the
industry and the relationship between its various sectors, resource
provision, management and labour relations, and the nature and
response to market demand. The book also provides fascinating
insights into the history of some of the most evocative marques in
the car industry, including Daimler, Jaguar, Alvis, Siddeley,
Standard and Rover.
This book, originally published in 1985, examines the development
of the car industry in Coventry within both its local context and
the wider economic environment. It is a study of expansion and
adjustment which reflects the broader pattern of Britain's
industrial history. The book analyses the emergence and early
dominance of Coventry's motor manufacturers, the appearance of the
volume producers in the 1920s and the instability of the post-war
era. The relationship between cars and other sectors of the local
economy, particularly cycles, machine tools and aircraft, is
discussed, while the significance of the two world wars receive
special attention. Extensive use is made of original sources
material, much of which, prior to publication, had received little
or no attention from business historians.

This is a multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between
the motor car and popular culture in the 20th century, which brings
together original essays by academics in the UK, North America and
Australia. The contributors write from a wide range of disciplinary
perspectives, including semiotics, social history, literary and
film criticism, and musicology. Three main themes are addressed:
the car as a cultural image; its impact on leisure and
entertainment; and the cultural significance of the processes of
manufacturing and selling cars.
