BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Four weekly Wheelbase programmes looking back over eighty years of international motoring.

A car for almost everyone. Traffic jams everywhere. A queue of customers in the showroom.
Tonight: Colin Chapman, Alec Issigonis, Sir William Lyons, Alex Moulton, Stirling Moss, and Sir Donald Stokes examine twenty years of advance in engineering, British supremacy in motor sport, and the social influence of Jaguar and the BMC Mini.
