The Bean by Jonathan Wood
The 11.9 hp Bean represented John Harper Bean's bid to manufacture Britain's most popular car of the 1920s, however it was a casualty of a tangled corporate infrastructure and sure-footed opposition from William Morris's famous Bullnose Cowley.
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.
