What a beautiful Villages,the very nice Places for living,I was in England in 1997,all people were agreable for me ,thanks all,regards from Pilar Buenos Aires Argentina

What a wonderful program, watching the production line for an Austin 7.... I run two of these cars, a Pearl, and a Ruby. Fascinating to see the making of gear wheels, crankshafts etc., what a super film !

Were BSA motorcycles more reliable in Britain than they were in the U.S. ?

I was a child when the advert "only a fool breaks the two second rule" was broadcast, I have never forgotten that & often repeat the mantra in my head, so that one worked! As did "clunk click every trip" and of course "always use green cross code", thanks for sharing!

Birmingham is now famous for Pakistani restaurants.😂😂😂

Interesting, the spelling of the word "remember" has been shortened. I never knew it was once pronounced as "rrrrrrrrrrrooooomemmmba"

Brings back many memory

What h,,f wit compos ed the music

The irony is that the motor car has ruined these villages, yellow and white lines and signs on posts everywhere, every garden and green turned into a parking place!

Today's world UK... If you travel 60 mph someone overtakes at 70 mph at 80 mph 90 mph 100 mph 110 mph 115 mph 120 mph british roads are insanity in 2024 , with a small b

Thanks again Mr Flash for sharing a very interesting video, that looks like a terrifying workplace but it made me smile with the bloke amongst all that in his bowler hat, but sad at what was once possible in this country and has been lost due to political mis-management. politicians past or present have nothing to be proud of, unlike these hardworking steel makers.

The days when Britain was Great. The skills are no longer there to keep manufacturing in this country kids don't want to know about hard work. They think it's all about computers not manual work. Such a waste looking back over the many important things our country was capable of doing once never to be again

Nice one Mr Flash 👍

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."*

good old yorkshire skills

My old man dropped the container on that mini and hid it to avoid the sack😂

Last time I visited there is still some track in the ground by Tomb Blaster and Croc Drop - I was baffled, I hadn't heard of Chessington having a railway while I was alive

When we had real comedy

Is this “Chalford Hill” or “Chalfont Hill” climb?

Brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏

I remember enjoying, and then selling JWV 374 a pale green Somerset coupe for £15 circa 1967. Replaced it with an ambassador blue Mk 2 Lowline Zephyr for £200, sadly not a convertible. Happy days Best Wishes , Martin.

Fascinating story thanks for sharing. Did any Double Decker bus ever tip over during a skid test does anyone know

Sadly missed by those of us old enough to remember the London ones, one thing one couldn't do was run and leap on as it pulled away from a stop or junction, the acceleration was too quick, traffic permitting.

Lovely film footage thanks 😊

I’m just amazed how these drivers can be looking behind them, without causing an accident.

Always used crosville bus 50s & 60s , Happy times , when you had a conductor on a bus to see to the passengers needs luggage etc, before Greed set driver would do both jobs , but could not in reality 1959 the conductor gave on a small roll of tickets.....which I have to this day

Not a Torque Wrench in sight but imagine absolutely spot on.

Any idea what motor cycles these are ?

was it silent, or did it have an original soundtrack?

Noooo ... don't park it in sea water!!

14.36 sitting centre with a brown hat , Tommy Trinder C.B.E. you lucky people !

Do I watch this film again a few times to see if the director is playing games with us? Is it a one-off? Am I mistaken? Look at 07.42 to 07.44. Slow the playback speed down, if it helps you. The foot is never fully slid into the walking boot, that is a right foot going into a left-handed boot. Quite separate. Does anyone know what the booth is to the right of the man at 01.14? Looks like a photo booth, but from what I can make out it relates to records. Were there ever booths to pop into and listen to records?

Aah, when the world catered for normal people, and not just the privileged few.

Just came across this video again which I made many years ago. I had never read the comments before. I still have nox902 which is actually booked in for a respray later this year. 293BMG was sold to a neighbour in 2012. He had the engine reconditioned and it went to some garage for work but the chap almost ran off with the car. It had been sitting out in the open and had deteriorated considerably but at least he eventually got it back. My friend became ill and so in late 2021 I bought it back, did a lot of work to the brakes etc to get it mobile and sold it to a classic car dealer up north somewhere. Shaun Taylor, I’m not sure if you bought it off him or whether you still have it? I noticed it was for sale on Classic cars and campers website a while ago where it didn’t look too bad apart from the os front wing and interior which had really deteriorated. Hopefully it is with a good owner now. John.

Real old school engineering, there used to be a company called barimar that did this work I remember watching an old engineer drilling through a crack in a block,tapping it ans screwing in brass rods,each overlapping the other Great film by the way

This is wonderful All of the cars parked by the road are classics now It must date from 1958 onwards as there is an A40 Farina following one of the cars

I would like to know the date of this film - especially as I am right now getting one of these combinations into working order. This machine was made in 1961, not long before the AA began to phase out sidecars altogether [I believe between 1963 and 1968]. The bike part of the outfit, the M21 [600cc single cylinder Side Valve] had not been on sale to the public for some years, as it was a very old design, begun in 1937; however, they kept building them just for the AA. For all I know mine might be in this film, somewhere! Incidentally, if anyone has any information on the sidecar chassis design, especially the springing, or knows where I could find drawings or accounts, I'd be very grateful. Thanks for putting up the video. Very interesting.

filmed in Hampshire ( Bucks Horn Oak )! and Surrey , and Farnborough , the garage where the Morris was built is no longer there as a modern house was built on its location maps.app.goo.gl/nSsPEBto49unrogp8 I recall seeing this while I was at school, it must have affected me, because my garage now houses an equally ancient Morris Oxide awaiting the warmer weather and my welding skills !! they just dont make films like this anymore, mores the pity, the parallels with the young man in the healey and the loud music have not changed though, although these days its likely to be an Audi with racist xenophobic, sexist sweary music being played at full volume !!

A car, Not for the simple worker, with a income from 3 pounds the month! !!!

Very lovely Film, but nobody, or only a few thausend buyers bougt british own cars. England had so many car faktorys, and today? ? Butter the country side is the best in the World.

Or the later big seven!

Trying to work out what engine. Three main bearing crankshaft. Side valve. Could be pre war austin ten.

"Always drive well enough to make up for the other fellow ... but remember that sometimes you are the other fellow. "

I used to and still do love these old information films. Oh for the old times

And now we have much safer cars, but morons playing with their phones ! I still own a car from this era, its is going to be a real learning curve when I put it back on the road

So glad I got to drive in those cars, on those roads, at that time. Having recently retired from truck driving I was glad to say goodbye to the jams, the stupid rules, the poor standards and the aggression. Now I live in the countryside and I enjoy my driving again.

Great stuff, from a time when you actually drove your car!

They do very well on poor roads. There is a lot of them out back in russia. Dirt and potted roads. A big lada was s ceo car in the 00'.

I owned 3 Lada's back in the 90's, never had a breakdown or any real problems, if they were so bad, why would the Russians want them back?
