To celebrate the award of UK City of Culture 2021 to Coventry, local boy Mark Evans tells the full history of the classic cars made in Coventry, 

This passionate retrospective runs from the industry's beginnings in 1897 through to the present day and includes interviews and archive footage detailing the stories behind the creation of classic marques such as the Daimler, the Triumph, the Riley and the Jaguar and the companies and people behind them

I watched this on iplayer this afternoon very enjoyable nearly fell off my seat when they started talking about Captain John Black no relation I think! But I used to call my brother also John “Captain Black” but I think that was in relation to the misterons! and Captain Scarlet! I did like seeing the earlier Standard production line film.
