The DVD box set is worth buying, there's still loads more that i haven't uploaded to youtube.

All the locations and stuff for The Home Made Car here. Seems it was Oscar nominated. How quaint.

That SD1 film was great - really interesting that they did the clay styling model, then used a clever robot sensor to feed the dimensions into the computer - presumably because the computing power to design the thing on screen didn't exist.  My early encounters with computers at University involved punch cards - I don't miss them (or University).  I notice the CNC machine was a Cincinnati - we were importing tech from the US then.  

The German one's were the best.

If that auction had been current, for Me it would have been a candidate for a Breadvan type syndicate.

Great find. Thanks for posting. I watched this loads of times back then and haven't seen it since. It made such an impression that I could remember the music before hearing it again on the video.

 

There was another trade test film where a family in a Moggie traveller were travelling in foreign lands. The moggie broke down (surprise) and they got it fixed at a nearby garage.

Sorry to the OP for littering their thread; but this

 

This is brilliant!  What's going on with the axle arrangement on the lorry at 4:20 though?  Weird.

 Hi, I think it's a short trailer articulated truck usually used for local deliveries, like railway companies did for local and parcel deliveries with Scammell Scarabs. It looks like it could be a Thorneycroft Nippy.

I seem to remember a 'restore old car' film, with a girl who wants to go to the funfair?? I asked about it on here...

Possibly French...

 

Did someone find it, on here???

This is the first time I've seen it but it really heart warming, i can't believe the quality of the picture for a film over 50 years old.

 

I'm not too sure about his paintwork or lack of gas mask!

That vacuum sprayer was hilarious. You might end up with a few runs.
