Wheelbase: Clothes for the Car

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring.

What to wear at the wheel is a question drivers have been trying to solve for sixty years or more. Trouser suits and fun furs have taken over from the ankle-length leather coats of 1900 but too few clothes today are designed to look good and wear well in a car. What kind of wardrobe is best for people on the move? Maggie Clews offers a smart girl's guide to motoring in fashion, and Lord Montagu of Beaulieu examines the motor car's impact on dress and society over half a century. From the Palace House, Beaulieu, Hampshire.
