Concentrating on Ellis's two accounts of road trips with Francis Birtles, this article explores 'some of the social and political context of motoring and car culture in the inter-war period. It also shows how Ellis's continuing obsessions, his conservative politics and his personality flaws ... were reflected in his motoring exploits.' (p.86)
