The Archive Hour: And Grandmain the Backseat

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Matthew Parris dips into the archives in search of the golden days of family motoring and finds a long-gone world - despised by today's hi-spec four-wheel drive worshippers - of winding but empty roads, leather upholstery and saluting AA men; a time when ownership of an Austin Seven meant you were really someone. Producers Nick Patrick and Ivan Howlett
Alan Titchmarsh remembers the old jalopy: page 34
