    What a spiffing film old chap ! Jolly good show old boy ! I fully restored a 1930 OHC Morris Minor Saloon like this during the 1980's and it was used in the Reading and Oxford area everyday until 1958 when it was stored in a Barn until 1983 when I bought it. It's original number plate was RD1551. Although now transferred.

The lights, the walls, windows, the signs, architectural shapes of the common high street buildings, including shops, homes, churches, public buildings, trees . It is wonderful. It is also nice that they edit in the sounds of the door car closing ! Lol

    Remember the adverts but without the luxury to review them at that time I missed the last advert's odd feature. We drive on the left, the junction was on the right-hand side. So the closing shot means the overtaking car had to have spun through 180 degrees. I don't think that was the intent. My inner pedant taking over, they weren't adverts. As it used to say after them, *"That Was A Public Information Film."*
