1977: Can CCM Save the BRITISH MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY? | Nationwide | Retro Transport | BBC Archive

British motorbikes used to be the envy of the world, with companies like AJS, Matchless, Sunbeam Cycles and BSA producing state-of-the-art motorcycles, but in recent decades the industry has declined to the point of complete collapse. But one man is on a mission to single-handedly bring the British Bike Industry back from the brink, Alan Clews.

Luke Casey reports on his small but rapidly expanding motor bike manufacturing company, Clews Competition Machines (CCM).

Originally broadcast 6 April, 1977.
