Hi all

I found this report of a caravan rally and test, held at Oulton Park in 1960.

Have you found any other neat videos online, perhaps on this Pathe site, or on Youtube etc?

Great bit of film, (Rick's link). I remember those days of sweaters, bobble hats and a simple attitude to having fun.

What fiendish adjustment was going on at 2:15 ? If that happened today it would be pounced upon by the stewards, contravenes Section 9315:175 amendment 231 para 297. Wink

My first caravan was a (15ft ?) Bluebird. Took it on our holiday to Sicily in 1979. I remember driving through Taormina, it was a very tight fit at times. I believe the town now has vehicle restrictions.

Any ideas why the Swiss flag on his boat ?
