Cliff Michelmore reports on the new cars of the year direct from the London Motor Show at Earls Court with Barrie Gill and Gordon Wilkins
Foreign manufacturers now account for one in every four new cars sold in Britain. Output from our own home factories is bigger than ever: 1,107,000 new cars have been sold in the first eight months of 1972. But the import trend goes on with 270,000 new foreign cars registered in Britain over the same period. Tonight Wheelbase examines some of the reasons. Are foreign cars more reliable than our own? Or do motorists choose them just to be different?
The programme also looks at the future of the London Motor Show itself. Now that new cars are no longer announced at the Show is there still a case for holding the Earls Court Exhibition every October?
