Transportation is civilisation
It was on that personal philosophy that William Richard Morris built his giant car-making empire. On the centenary of his birth, Peter Hobday traces Morris's rise from bicycle mender to motor magnate and looks at the way he made his millions and how, as Lord Nuffleld, he gave most of them away.
