Cultural history of mechanical engineering

As a teenager in the late sixties I started to subscribe and read magazines for the DIY motor mechanic motorists. I became interested in British family saloons from the fifties and sixties. Remember I was only a teenager. This was the time of the Beatles. Cars were the symbol of progress in engineering for the postwar family man who wanted to own and drive a car. He was prepared to learn how to repair his own car. Cars were cherished by proud owners. Taking care of an old family car became a passion for many motorists. Post war mechanical engeneering had its ups and downs for the critical car owner. Most DIY car owners described in a magazine like Car Mechanics were men. Nurturing an old motorcar was part of the relationship between the car owner en his motorcar. The competition of newer models was not always what owners wanted. Some of them had become attached to their older motorcar.

When the home market of the British Motorindustrie was invade by continental European cars, a desire emerged to keep the British postwar cars from the fifties and sixties on the road. It took some years but around 1978 Practical Classics became the new and leading magazine for car owners from Britain and all over the world in what became the classic car movement of the British Heritage.

It started as a movement of DIY home mechanics to keep those cars on the road and use them for transport. Now over fourty years later it has become a passion of mechanical motor engineering of the cultural history of the British motorcar in the postwar eary. In the age before the Apple Macintosh ( 1984) and the IBM PC Microsoft DOS ( 1981) announced the computer age.

The time of mechanical engineering of the British Motorindustry between 1930 and 1968.

Our cultural heritage of mechanical engineering reminds to the life of our previous generations.

I have a small collection of British family cars between 1933 ( Austin Harley) and 1963 (Singer Vogue).

This collection connects me to the cultural history of Britain.
