public information films,or is it fillers.... the hard shoulder, keep your distance, don't overtake near junctions, why do they not make stuff like this now, are modern drivers more intelligent and don't need reminding, not from what I see every day.....

Motor rally's and driving skills events from the 40s and 50s
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
Our steel will only be suitable for tin cans soon, assuming they don't shut that down as well

Fantastic! Hope you don’t mind if I share in the Chalford Local History group.
@stuj1984 it's ok by me, hope they enjoy it👍
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
Hi Robert, thanks for you comment, it got me thinking and I found this information rarehistoricalphotos.com/double-decker-buses-tilt-testing-1933/
@jackflashvintagemotoring7586 thank you very much for this information much appreciated
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 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Great footage mr Flash keep it coming 👏
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 ?
Looked like a Triumph Twin.
I think they are triumph no idea what model, I'm not even sure of the year of the film
was it silent, or did it have an original soundtrack?
This is one of the films I salvaged from my old pc before scrapping it, I seem to remember there was a soundtrack originally, also I could of sworn it was longer
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?
I see what you mean about the boot , and the Studio booth well in the fifties/ sixties most large train and coach stations had record recording booths , in fact my mate and I cut a disc in one in the late sixties, just for a laugh, as to the boot no idea what's going on there definitely the wrong foot though
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.
Hi John, nice to know you, so YOU are the star in this video well done, it has proved popular over the last couple of years.Nice to know you and the cars are still around 👍👍
Thanks. I bought the car in 2000 and I think the video was made in 2001. I remember having no time to prepare, no script and it was done with just one take. Rather stressful! I later recall speaking to a man over on holiday from Australia. He said you're the Austin video man! I had no idea the recording had travelled so far.
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
Thank you glad you enjoyed it👍
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
Glad you enjoyed it👍
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.
Funny you know the first thought that'd popped into my head was 1961, however the style of the film looks older, and I can't see any 60s cars in the film. I'm not sure of the source but suspect it might be off a dvd possibly from the glimpses collection, If I find any information I will let you know
Thanks. I've discovered that the new style of sidecar body - the streamlined fibreglass with the built-in wheel arch - replaced the old style [with the separate black mudguard] in 1961. The film shows the patrolmen 'trading in' the old type and coming out and onto the parade ground with the new. Therefore the film must be 1961 or later; but probably not much later, as not many more [if any] were bought before the start of the phase-out two years later. That would explain all the 50s vehicles seen. [I first posted this comment yesterday but it seems to have disappeared, at least for me. If it appears to others, that's why. I'm not senile - well, not yet...] Cheers.@@jackflashvintagemotoring7586
The only thing I can find is the initial question about the date of the film , I'm trying to trace where I got this from as I would like to upload a better quality copy ,it's not a BFI film that's certain, re missing comments, I sometimes find comments mysteriously go missing, the only time i would remove a comment is If its offensive , thankfully that's rare👍
The bike was discontinued in 1956, but lingered on in AA trim until 1963 so I'm guessing this film was early 1960s. It appears to have been made by BSA rather than the AA, so it's odd the film celebrates a side-valve model that had been obsolete for 6 or 7 years. Perhaps the company were keen to promote fleet sales outside the UK, which would explain a travelogue intro most Brits would already be familiar with.
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! !!!
Average wage then was £3 per week unless management about £5 ,you could buy a nice new 3 bedroom semi for £600 in outer london , which makes the top of the range Austin 20 look ridiculously expensive, although If you owned one of those you would probably of had a chauffeur.
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.
I think these where used in the Austin big seven 1937 900cc
"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.
The same with me; I really loved that, being petrol tanker drivers we had to stay in the cab during breaks, but, being tankers, space heaters are illegal and we were not allowed to idle the engine. OK to freeze to death though! Only allowed to park up in specified service areas but, if you arrived when no spaces available, it was illegal to park in an unauthorised area but also illegal to move on if out of hours.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I found this literally by accident it's turned out to be a gem👍
Not pleasant on the roads these days especially in London with ulez , with thousands of perfectly usable motors scrapped or laid up, well come to that lots of towns and city's now have so many restrictions it's rediculous,
Great stuff, from a time when you actually drove your car!
Glad you liked it!
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 was thinking of buying a Lada Riva 1500 estate in the eighties, you could get a new one for around £3.2 k the large load area was great
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?
Reliable affordable transport that can be fixed by the roadside I guess, as good a reason as any I think.
Top Gear when it was a show on motoring & not like it ended up as with 3 clowns running it & just doing stupid stunts
I agree, stupid stunts

Nice factory film🎉
Im pleased you enjoyed it 👍
The days when it was a test. Took mine in a van, no heater in the first few days of a very cold February, temperature never rose above freezing all day, trafficators never worked as were frozen, hand signals throughout. By the end of the test the examiner had a frozen bogie on his nose. He cut the test short by 15 minutes as started to snow heavily and had a sore backside from the wooden crate I provided for a passenger seat. Was I glad to be handed the pass slip.
Ha ha that's so funny, 👍😅
