Résumé :
In the forty odd years between 1896 - the year the Locomotives on Highways Act came into effect and the Second World War, Britain was changed for ever by the automobile. This rich, evocative and entertaining book charts that fascinating chapter of social history.
At first motoring was a sport, the car a plaything of the rich - from King Edward to Mr Toad. But soon motor transport by car, bus, motorcycle and lorry - their value confirmed many times over in the Great War - became central to the economy.
The huge growth in ownership of private cars rejuvenated countryside, towns and villages left derelict by agricultural depression and the railways. The car was also individually liberating - and glamorous too.
