ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY, HUMBER, LANCHESTER, LEA FRANCIS, SUNBEAM TALBOT, etc.? In 1948 there were 36 MAKES of British cars, NOT Models ! the daimlers shown were jag products, Daimler is the oldest British marque, independant until 1960.

Actually, before Daimler was acquired by Jaguar, it was owned by BSA (Birmingham Small Arms), the arms and motorbike manufacturers, who had also taken over Lanchester in the early 1930s. In the 1930s they badged their top of the range cars as Daimlers, mid range as Lanchester, and the cheapest and simplest as BSAs.

@gilgameshofuruk4060 3 года назад

@@shannon7002 It wasn't the majority of unions. Mainly it was the unions in nationalised industries, predominantly British Leyland, who abused their power. In those days most industry was run by managers who had worked their way up through the companies and worked closely with the unions for mutual benefit. For example the ceramics union ensured a decent level of pay for their members, paid holidays and never took strike action. British Leyland however called a strike when two men were sacked for taking sleeping bags with them for the night shift. I got into an argument with someone from a union in a nationalised industry once when I said that people in other industries were losing their jobs. Her reply was "It's not my fault if they don't care enough to go on strike to fight fur their jobs". She would not listen when I said that the managers were struggling as much as the workers to keep the factories going and that a strike would merely result in lost trade. Unions are vital to ensure the well-being of workers. I have seen what poor safety standards do. So it wasn't "The unions" it was _some_ unions. But the ultimate blame lies with Callaghan's Labour government for not reigning in the bad unions, which in turn led to the destruction of manufacturing in Britain at the hands of the Tories.

@paulsutton5896 3 года назад

Destroyed by a series of strikes in 1960 at its stampings plant in Acton, and a clumsy attempt by Harold Wilson to pass the whole problem over to Chrysler. But Chrysler also bought an ailing French car company, and unlike the British companies, the French company was not being destroyed by its workers. Nevertheless Chrysler could not make one good car company out of multiple bad ones. And soon it had its own problems in the USA. The whole enterprise was sold to Peugeot (for ten dollars, I think). I thought Chrysler's Talbot Tagora was a smart-looking vehicle, But Peugeot only wanted the factory space to make more Peugeots. Very sad. But most countries which dabble with socialism have even more tragic endings than the loss of well-respected car-marques. We got off lightly.

And the London taxi, which is sadly in Chinese ownership. But I feel Boris will reinvent Britain again, placing innovation at the heart of Britain reinventing itself. He’s starting with the military, and some of the innovations are amazing. Including, laser guns, the rocket sabre engine, and artificial intelligence. A lot of these innovations will filter down into civilian manufacturing, and maybe Coventry will play an important part in that regeneration. 🇬🇧

As usual the demise of U.K manufacturing can be put down to a number of things and it's usually incompetent management bad industrial relations and unwillingness to modernize.

Triumph would be a fantastic brand to resurrect. The Dolomite and the TR sports cars are a great heritage, so much more charismatic than today's blobs.

I knew several people who owned TR3x. Both had 3 vehicles - 1 for the road and 2 for parts. This was in the 1970s.

I'm not sure you could . The Trumph name is of course still used for motorbikes.

Too many cars shown were badge engineered versions of other makers models. Could have used genuine models.

I thought the Morris Oxford series VI was a Peugeot 404 so much it looks like it.

Both designed by Pininfarina in the late 50s, so it's maybe not surprising. It was not unknown for car design studios to design several different slightly different body shells at one go, then hawk them round to manufacturers.

I've seen many of these types of vids and I'm always sad to see GILBERN Motors once again not getting a mention. The only cars ever built in Wales they were beautiful looking and sadly missed.

Missed out a load of fabulous British marques - however a good but very sad vid. Not sure I would’ve used that lift muzak….

Lessons have not been learned. Peugeot, Citroen took over Vauxhall and now Vauxhalls are rebadged Peugeots. Since the merger with Fiat. Fiats will become rebadged Peugeots too. Utter madness.

Really bad examples of some of these marque. And why no Jowett?

Singer cars

@gregbugden9812 2 года назад

Some great old British vehicles here. But why would you omit vehicles like Humber , often used by the Royal Family and a manufacturer that provided vehicles during WW2; and Hillman the car which won the world rally ?

Nice pictures, terrible cheesy music.... Fortunately, there's a volume button, thank you for that, inventors
