About Jonathan Wood
Although Jonathan Wood is the author of some thirty-five books on motoring history, the first make he researched was the Bean fro Britain's Black Country. As Historian of the Bean Car Club in the 1960s, he obtained a unique insight into the poignant story of the Bean marque when he interviewed the company's former employees, all of whom, alas, have since died.
