Curioso Cultural Collection - SHIT CARS x6 Pin Badges - Limited Edition Set

Once celebrated Worldwide for it's Craft, Style and Engineering, the British Car Industry now lies in a grave of rusted relics.  Poor investment, mismanaged work forces, outdated production, low standards, Overseas competition making desirable and affordable alternatives.  

Government Policies that ranged from crippling Unions in the 60's and 70's to the Catastrophic Right-wing Economic Strategic Policy of the 80's and the Industry was left teetering on the edge.

Ultimately 'sold off' piece by piece to Foreign ownership.

As Clarkson observed:

"............. in the mid '70's, 26% of the British workforce was employed someway in the Manufacturing Sector.  Today it's 8%.  It is not that we do not make Sports cars anymore.....   We don't make anything...!"
