How Prince Philip Changed the British Motor Industry (Funny Anecdote)
This footage was filmed in 1991 with Joe Edwards reflecting on his career.
Joe Edwards CBE (1908 - 1997) one of the most capable leaders of the British motor industry in the turbulent 50s & 60s. Joe rose rapidly to become BMC Director of manufacturing at Longbridge in 1955 but clashed with Len Lord the chairman. This lead to him becoming MD of Pressed Steel Fisher at Cowley until 1966 when he was invited to return to Longbridge as MD of BMH. Only to resign in 1968 in protest at the BL merger engineered by Donald Stokes.

    This is a very rightwing, old fart, view of the death of the British car industry, listen to Ruairidh MacVeigh's The Death of the UK Car Industry that square puts the blame on the Labour government, and various selfinterested guys leading British car manufacturing over the years, blaming the workers working in factories that had run for 30-40 years without renovations or upgrades and the massive productions of Minis at a loss over decades (much due to bad production quality), while the former Austin and Morris executives battled it out. And no plans ahead for anything! My dad had a number of BMC cars, the last being a Morris 1800 (a very nice car to drive), that drank a couple of gallons of oil for each filled tank of fuel. He switched to an early SAAB 900, another mistake if you are technically inept like him. It had numerous issues, like lacking any kind of steering assistance, and a Borg-Warner gearbox that eventually failed, leaving you without reverse gears.

    My family lived in Saudi from 78-82 and I was born there. My dad always told the story that he was in a restaurant in Saudi and Muhammad Ali walked in and sat at a nearby table. He introduced himself and Muhammad Ali signed a Riyal for him. We never believed him until we were cleaning our old house out when my parents were moving. We found the Riyal tucked in an old folder.

    My dad bought a brand new Hillman Avenger in Poole Dorset with the hockey stick rear lights, he ordered it White with white upholstery that had green piping🤩. But the factory let him down for some reason and for less money and a better car radio he got one in “Prairie Wind 😂” which was basically Beige. Aaaah nothing like sitting in shorts on vinyl seats on a hot summers day. Straight away he found anything above sixty and the whole car would vibrate, so after several trips to the dealer with no success at sorting the problem out, he wrote a letter to the company (no email of course back then) they did reply quickly and arrange to investigate at a Bournemouth dealers and would send a factory chief mechanic to😲. This they did, according to my dad the guy lifted the car removed the long drive shaft, placed it on the floor and rolled it along with his foot and it was pretty obvious it was bent. So he fitted a brand new one he had brought along and all was fine after that, god the number of trip to Butlins we did in that motor….happy days. He then traded in for a Morris Marina White with Blue Vinyl roof and Blue Velvet seats Mmm luxury 😄 Then not my favourite a Morris Ital🤮 also in Beigey type of colour, sadly all of them sounded like tinny boxes when you shut the boot or doors the Marina was my favourite of all, After that he went foreign and the quality just shot up 1) Mazda 626 (power steering much quieter drive solid build and feel very reliable) 2) Volvo 740. (Ditto above) 3) Citroen Xantia x 2 off 4) Honda Accords x 4 off till present never goes wrong.

    You make a passing reference to "union issues" and no reference to abysmal British car reliability. It was these two issues that killed of the British car industry. Quality of British cars was so bad (from the late 60s to the early 90s) it was beyond a joke. At a British car company, it wasn't possible to fire anyone for even the grossest acts of negligence or dereliction of duty. Most cars came off the line with a mass of defects. Buyers soon realised that a Japanese or German car was usually defect free. UK buyers deserted British cars the moment foreign car prices became feasible - which they did with the "Common Market" - ie after 1974. The only surprise was that the British car industry limped on as long as it did. UK cars were well designed but so unreliable, we had to rent a Japanese or German car for a motoring holiday, because there was f*** all chance that a British car would make a trip without a breakdown. A good friend of mine has a garage. He told me "when a Land Rover or Jaguar came in for a service, they all go down to the pub to celebrate". I don't know of a single Land Rover owner who has been happy to keep their car after the warranty has expired. Quality and reliability makes happy customers. Happy customers are repeat customers - and people who will pay a little extra for the privilege of trouble free motoring. Reliable cars hold their value. Did anyone ever fancy buying a three year old Morris Marina? - I very much doubt it.

    From my view as a German 🇩🇪 a piece is missing: It is not the Unions fault only this is to simple. At VW for example about 90 % of the workers are in the Union. It is even mandatory to have a member of the Unions as a member at the board of VW. Management and Unions in UK did not find a way together. Don't blame the unions alone. GB is not very good at compromising.

      YES ! , That's an incredibly important point. In the U.K. and U.S. the relationship between management and workers is adversarial if not downright hostile and disrespectful. Not only in the auto industry but nearly everything. An exception in the U.S. is Southwest airlines which from the beginning been partially owned by employees. They have had far fewer problems than the other airlines. The German system is better.

    Actually quality was often quite high in the early 50's: the big problem was complacency and the British suspicion of 'modern'. This produced frumpy cars that often had 30's mechanicals, which killed sales overseas. Politicians/management/workers somehow conspired to cause this disaster. How the hell did these same people win WW2? Answer....with lots of help.

WHY would The Creator of His home/abode, Heaven[s] want Ali's SOUL back to His kingdom, bosom? God Almighty, Ali made God Almighty a STRANGER to/in his home. by Ali's volition and choice. let me ask [but don't invite replies to my email please] Would YOU invite a stranger into YOUR home? and we know by God Almighty Jehovah's TRUTH, holy bible, that there's only one other destination for the infinite SOUL...nah, not purgatory. no such place. read your bible throughout and in context; pray for God's wisdom of interpretation should you get stumped. NO PURGATORY catholic church! mmmm....HELL. as wonderful a man Ali was in the world, charitable, bold in his convictions and unashamed to speak truth in areas of social justice, he chose the wrong 'god.' again, WOULD YOU LET A STRANGER IN YOUR HOME? THEN WHY SHOULD THE CREATOR, ALMIGHTY GOD allow strangers in His? HEAVEN. [God says 'there is no other god beside Me.' Isaiah 45, holy bible]. think and thanks.
