Driving a great car remains one of the finest experiences of the 20th century
and in those 100 years the great car manufacturers have become bywords for
speed. luxury, affordability and design, from Ford to Ferrari, and from MG to
McLaren.
The Story Of Motoring, presented by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu tells the story
of the last hundred years by featuring particular cars that represent the
different motoring genres of afordability, luxury, design and speed.
This fascinating and informative programme features new colour footage mixed
with unique archive footage to set the scene of the lives and times of people
who bought and drove those cars.
The video also considers the future. Will we see electric cars in mass
production? Is the future to be dominated by multi-role designs? Or, will in
fact, the car be viewed by future historians as a peculiarly 20th century
phenomenon?
