A couple of months ago I tumbled across the BP film collection which chronicled much of the company's exploits of which motoring and cars therein were aplenty. I forgot to post the details but this evening I came across British Pathe news.

I'll post the link but do warn you that if you're anything like me you'll instantly lose a couple of hours trawling through hours of Classics and Yesterday's Heroes.

To whet your appetite the following are just some of the clips:-

.Ascari - his unfortunate death
.TR3 Production line
.Falcon self build kit car
.Le Mans 1954
.Rolls Royce Farm 1964
.Lamborghini Jarama 1972

Enjoy and you can touch base again in a couple of months time when you've finished wading your way through them all smile lol!

It's a superb collection, search for your choice of car e.g Riley and be prepared to send hours watching some superb footage from previous decades.

Be warned - you can disappear for hours into that site (I know I have), not just on motoring topics but all the amazing stuff on our wider industrial past as well.
