AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Concentrating on Ellis's two accounts of road trips with Francis Birtles, this article explores 'some of the social and political context of motoring and car culture in the inter-war period. It also shows how Ellis's continuing obsessions, his conservative politics and his personality flaws ... were reflected in his motoring exploits.' (p.86)
