Planes, trains, trams, trucks and chod - A holiday in Britain in a Saab 2 stroke in 1959

[Saabnut]

I was recently sent this 17 minute film of a Swedish couple in a brand new 1959 Saab 93b leaving Norway and touring Inverness to London  on holiday. Some of the chod is fantastic. It is a lovely time capsule. It takes a while to load, be patient, it is worth the wait.

05:20 "Everywhere you go in Britain, you find that the people have a remarkable love for old and odd forms of transport". Makes you proud to be British!

The trouble with films like this is that they make me wish to have been born in 1940 rather than 1960. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this @Saabnut .

 

Lots of things I wasn't expecting as they came south such as a stop off at Knole and a plane ride over the channel from Lympne.
