Written by Richard Hough, Michael Frostick and Brian Robins.
Four weekly Wheelbase programmes looking back over eighty years of international motoring.
Four great cars died in the depression years of the 1930s - Bentley and Bugatti, Talbot and Hispano-Suiza.
W.O. Bentley, S.C.H. Davis, Alfred Neubauer, Georges Roesch, Whitney Straight, and John Thornley describe how high performance and high prices gave way to the £100 car, why M.G.s vanished from Brooklands at the peak of their fame, and how Hitler triumphed on the racing circuits of Europe as a prelude to war.
(Next Friday: The Beloved Monster (1945-1966))
