Making Cars At Cowley Av Gillian Bardsley, Stephen Laing

In 1913 an ambitious young businessman named William Morris converted a derelict military college on the outskirts of Oxford into an assembly hall for motor vehicles.

Now in this revised and fully updated edition, new illustrations and text seek to show
