In the last 100 years, automobiles have become the worlds dominant means of transportation, and an omnipresent influence on the industrial, economic, and social structures of every nation. In postwar Great Britain, the English obsession with class made the automobile a prism through which social and economic stereotypes were refracted. This first full exploration of the subject -- and the companion book to the popular British television miniseries of the same name -- examines the elite "tribalism" which developed from postwar Great Britain's fascination with the automobile. Each of the periods major marques and models are discussed and richly illustrated, along with the people who designed and built them.
