This VE Day, we’re celebrating the incredible role of British automotive innovation in securing victory!
Did you know?
During WWII, British car manufacturers transformed their production lines from civilian vehicles to military machinery, helping grow the British Army’s vehicle fleet from 40,000 to 1.5 million vehicles.
From iconic names like Austin, Morris, and Rolls-Royce to component makers like Dunlop and Smiths – our automotive industry played a vital part in the war effort. Today, we honour not just the victory, but the engineering excellence that helped make it possible.
