These are essentially public transport to which we can add the private vehicles comprising:-<\/p>\n

\n
• Cars<\/li>\n
• Lorries<\/li>\n
• Coaches<\/li>\n
• Vans<\/li>\n
• Taxis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  London enjoyed what might be considered a beneficial multiplier effect especially during the 1930\u2019s that was created as result of the interrelationship of suburban home ownership [Metroland] the jobs this created and the employment generator in the Tube network .The two were symbiotic. These tendency created further employment especially in the electricity industry, distributive trades and consumer goods.<\/p>\n

  Although there was considerable disparity of wealth and poverty in the 1930\u2019s London and the South East enjoyed perhaps greater disposable income. Those in fixed employment were able to obtain mortgages and perhaps also credit which possibly accounts along with the location of new homes the growth in private car ownership.<\/p>\n

  Of course the humble Austin Seven and Ford Popular would be inexpensive family cars and later be the basis of the racing specials and indeed Lotus models in the late 1940s and 50\u2019s.<\/p>\n

  The increase in motoring created new skills, and employment.<\/p>\n

  During the 1930\u2019s new main arteries were driven out of London on a western axis and these included:-<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Western Avenue [home to Vandervelle Bearings\/ Vanwall\u00a0 and Park Royal \u2013 see both illustration of Park Royal Underground Station, and A&R articles dedicated to Chapman,costin and Vanwall. Also make reference to appendix below.<\/li>\n
  • Great West Road ,Brentford comprised many motor related component manufacturers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We use figures that cover the primary Chapman era whilst based in and around London.<\/p>\n

    As London was the capital city and possessed largest population and traffic movements it might be assumed that a large proportion of the figures applied to London.<\/p>\n

    It is suggested that between the 1920\u2019s private car ownership increased from 300,000 to almost 2m by 1938.<\/p>\n

    RACE TRACKS<\/b><\/p>\n

    Essentially during the period under consideration London had two race tracks .These were:-<\/p>\n

    \n
    • Brooklands<\/li>\n
    • CrystalPalace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      MUSEUMS<\/b><\/p>\n

      London has essentially two transport museums. These are:-<\/p>\n

      \n
      • The LondonTransportMuseum with a primary focus on Public Transport<\/li>\n
      • The BrooklandsMuseum which is located at the old race track and has focus on pre-war racing and the aviation industry that was based on the site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        It\u2019s considered that neither promote the role of London in motor sport post war as their primary priority\/ focus nor serve to interpret the wider role of specialist engineering that contributed so much.<\/p>\n

        Although the much of the post war motor sport engineering has relocated to a corridor along the M1 and centred on Silverstone; the editors consider it negligent that the roots of post British war motorsport are not recorded or celebrated more. This includes Cooper for example. It\u2019s known that tourists like to complete a heritage trail yet this has been ignored in London and could so easily for a distinctive necklace and chain of outstanding museums, race tracks, manufacturing centres, libraries and locations that have contributed to success that Britain enjoys today.<\/p>\n

        During the 1960\u2019s and 70\u2019s London possible serviced the great majority of the Formula 3 and Formula Fords that sprang up and which democratically provided a spring board into higher levels of motorsport participation [ for evidence and details see tabulations \/spreadsheets which accompany A&R articles Lotus and Formula Junior\/Ford]<\/p>\n

        LONDON<\/b>: THE CHAPMAN\/ LOTUS ERA<\/b><\/p>\n

        Subscribers may wish to consult A&R articles Lotus Design Decades 1950 and 1960\u2019s to have the widest possible interpretation of the socio-economic context of post war London. The appendix is also a useful reference tool giving the range of types and addresses relevant to specialists etc.<\/p>\n

        During the 1950\u2019s British and particularly the London based Motorsport industry was achieving considerable impact and international results .Examples are:-<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Jaguar success through the 1950\u2019s with British drivers particularly at Le Mans<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Vanwall, Moss and the 1957 British GP win [ see Chapman\/Costin involvement] and constructors championship 1958<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Mike Hawthorne World FI GP champion 1958<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Many of the British racing drivers had a connection with London through racing and its related institutions<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 During the 1950\u2019s Lotus competed and dominated Club racing but also beat International competition at Le Mans in its class<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Chapman\/Lotus achieved their 1st\u00a0GP in 1960 [Monaco GP] whilst based Honsey \/Cheshunt<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Throughout the 1960 &70s Lotus dominated many lesser classes of racing not least Formula Junior and Formula Ford [ see A&R articles]<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Many of Chapman\u2019s most iconic and successful racing cars were made and launched with the London connection i.e. The Racing Car or Motor Show<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 From this early London base cars were exported and this called attention to London. Many aspiring drivers and mechanics gravitated here seeking experience and employment<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 During the 1960\u2019s Chapman enjoyed the collaboration with Ford [based at Dagenham] re Twin Cam. Ford Lotus Cortina and Ford Cosworth DFV etc. Ford engines were the mainstay of the Seven etc.<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Lotus won the 1963 World Constructors and Drivers Championship.2nd\u00a0place at Indianapolis<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Lotus won the 1965 World Constructors and Drivers Championship.1st\u00a0place at Indianapolis<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Lotus won the 1968 World Drivers and Constructors Championship<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Lotus won the 1970 World Drivers and Constructors Championship<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Lotus won the 1972 World Drivers and Constructors Championship<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Lotus won the 1973 World Constructors Championship<\/p>\n

        v\u00a0 Lotus won the 1978 World Drivers and Constructors Championship<\/p>\n

        The editors draw the distinction that during the early 1960s Chapman moved to Cheshunt and later Hethel.However right up until the late 1980\u2019s London retain much of its predominance.<\/p>\n

        THE PROPOSED COLIN CHAPMAN MUSEUM AND EDUCATION CENTRE: THE EXPLORATORY LABORATORY.<\/b><\/p>\n

        With a view to making the proposed CCM&EC a reality the following documents articulating the case have been produced:-<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 Planning permission<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 Scoping report by consultants<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 Impact analysis<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 SWOT analysis<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 Education, work experience, apprenticership programmes<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 Business Plan and budgets etc.<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 Sustainability<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 Exhibition themes and interpretation<\/p>\n

        \u00fc\u00a0 London motorsport trail and experience<\/p>\n

        The proposed museum believes that commercial considerations are both necessary and complementary with its educational objectives.<\/p>\n

        For these reasons our Business Plan includes provision for promoting products and services which share Chapman\u2019s ideals of mechanical efficiency and sustainability. In addition we propose merchandising that explain and interprets the social and cultural context of Chapman\u2019s designs in period. It\u2019s suggested there will be catalogue for on line purchasing.<\/p>\n

        In particular the proposed CCM&EC has developed plans to provide the motorsport experience by linking and integrating a unique group of related activities and locations. By which means students, visitors and tourists can relive the Lotus connection in London. This can be accessed by various means; the foremost by specialist guided tours, by classic car hire by public transport and coach trips. Various themes or programmes can be adopted with multiple options ranging from:-<\/p>\n

        \n
        • Location-Location! London \u2013Lotus location and Motor racing manufactures and specialists in context<\/li>\n
        • The Prisoner and advertising locations<\/li>\n

          CONCLUSION<\/b><\/p>\n

          The conclusions that the editors draw are that:-<\/p>\n

          \n
          1. London is a foremost tourist magnate for all the compound reasons explained<\/li>\n
          2. That London has been and to a certain extent remains associated with Moto racing<\/li>\n
          3. That economies, society, technology, education, creativity are not static and there is no room for complacency. They move on.<\/li>\n
          4. In a free society there is both choice and competition and more sophisticated societies have greater needs<\/li>\n
          5. That the enormity and richness of the London motorsport connection has been misunderstood , ignored and underexploited to its detriment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             The editors make the case for the proposed CCM&EC based on the following:-<\/p>\n

             \n
             • That the proposed CCM&EC [ The Exploratory \u2013Laboratory]\u00a0 can enhance, enrich, extend and complement existing tourism<\/li>\n
             • That it can achieve this particularly through the experience economy\/ participation \u201cdriving\u201d entertainment \/education<\/li>\n
             • That it services the creative industries \/ industrial design through inspiration and design example<\/li>\n
             • It has the means to provide training and work experience<\/li>\n
             • That the dual nature of its role lends to sustainability and mitigates against over specialism and vulnerability in an economy<\/li>\n
             • That it promotes British engineering and offers a show case for what remains a foremost British export<\/li>\n
             • That the modest investment capital offers considerable return in the long term\u00a0 and might service to prevent further decline; furthermore the investment has a double return serving simultaneously existing and future local community educational interests as well as international tourism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
