More London scenes from 1963. Some unusual motors in these clips:

All those Anglia's at the end, I wonder if any one of those still exists? very likely zero I guess.

Nice to see the cameraman concentrating on unusual vehicles at the start of the film. A couple of homebuilts and a Berkeley. There's a little sports car parked behind an Austin Chummy which I though might be an ultra-rare Vale Special but it's not.

I doubt all those clips are from 1963, I suspect some are earlier, including those last clips of all the new Fords parked up, likely at Dagenham, which I reckon was filmed in summer/autumn of 1961, as there are Consul Classic's as well as lots of Mk2 Zephyr/Zodiac's, and the Mk3 Zephyr/Zodiac replaced the Mk2 in early 1962, and the Consul Classic was launched in May 1961, so that leaves a 12 month window between May 1961 and April 1962 for that clip to have been filmed.

Some of those locations look to be in Swiss Cottage if I'm not mistaken
