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))
