Re: BBC 4 - Classic British Cars
I watched it all and the words Daimler, Lanchester and BSA were never mentioned. I just saw the rear end of a Dart in the Jaguar garage amongst a lot of cars.
The programme was mainly about Riley, Captain Black, Sir William Lyons and mass market car production.

Re: BBC 4 - Classic British Cars
It features a very early Daimler at the start
Re: BBC 4 - Classic British Cars
At 28 minutes in, also says "William Lyons had big plans for Jaguar. He'd already expanded production into the vast Daimler shadow factory here on Browns Lane ...." with some grainy footage of the inside of the factory, either of when Daimler were using the shadow factory for something, or afterwards - either way, not clear what was being manufactured.
Mildly interesting documentary though, I wasn't aware of quite a bit of it.
