“What I like, or one of the things I like, about motoring is the sense that it gives one of lighting accidentally, like a voyager who touches another planet with the tip of his toe, upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Then it seems to me I am allowed to see the heart of the world uncovered for a moment. It strikes me that the hymn singing in the flats went on precisely so in Cromwell’s time.”
Virginia Woolf in her Diary, 1920s.

“The Edwardian motoring lady had no reason to complain of the fashions expressly designed for her wearing. Early motoring coats bore a striking resemblance to that worn by a hard-working machinist. There was no thought of beauty or style in its designing, but in the early 1900s, the fashions for motoring were at once practical and fascinating; useful and fetching. Motoring clothing constituted in themselves a whole wardrobe, and not a very small one at that”
