Interesting Classics video thread

[viscountdallara]

For some reason, a video popped up on my 'YouTube recommended' channel this evening ( other providers are available !! )

I must admit that I spend too much time reminiscing, and my many YouTube ( other providers are available ) searches provide me with great slices of automotive history that may not be seen by others.

Yes I know that many will disagree that the following content includes a 'classic', but I found it interesting and quite humourous.
So please add your own.

Please try and keep the videos in period.

This is pure gold. I love the commentators accent; just like Harry Enfield's dad!

Sadly in poor quality, but an 'art' film by Pirelli (advertising it's tyres...somehow?) featuring an E-type being driven across Europe.

as seen at countless motor club filmshows in the late 1960s (but in good quality 16mm film!).

Peter Sellers and Britt Ekland picking up their Radford Cooper S hatchback in Hammersmith, October '65, it was his birthday present to her, no sound unfortunately, my Nan worked in Edward Edwards department store opposite and remembered it very well...

The Triumph Herald launch.
A bit out of sync with 1961 and 1959 film merged into the sequence but jolly japes!
