Wheelbase: What's in a Name?

on BBC Two England

Gordon Wilkins covers the world of veteran and vintage motoring.

Should the post-vintage thoroughbred cars of the 1930s be renamed 'Georgian'? How has the value of a Type 35 Bugatti gone from £400 to £4,000 in ten years? Why isn't the post-war A.C. or Allard, Bristol or Lagonda, worthy of preservation?
Lord Montagu of Beaulieu and Ronald Barker look for answers at the Montagu Motor Museum on the eve of the R.A.C. London to Brighton veteran car run.
