I found this tonight on YouTube and enjoyed watching it, so thought I'd share it:

Thanks Rick, I suppose I should have added that info before posting the link. Anyway, I hope people who watch it find it interesting.

As a Hillman owner and enthusiast I think its a superb film.

Some really great footage.

I have had a number of Hillmans, a Standard and a Mk2 Jag in my past and I thoroughly enjoyed that film.

They didn't mention the London cabs that are currently made in Coventry.

Thank you Vintage Fly Guy for posting.

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution

A couple more from time gone by, which I enjoyed watching. First off a review of the 'new' Jaguar XJ12, which Rick will probably enjoy watching, and then, in 1975, old Fyfe Robertson asks "Has the car gone too far?" I wonder what he'd think of them now?!

PS Feel free to add any interesting old car related videos you find to this thread, it might build to a decent video library to watch when the nights draw in again and there's nothing but bad news on TV.
