Spotted these on YouTube. Brilliant old films, plenty of minors. Especially the second one at 16 mins 20 sec in.

Re: 1960's Road Films
Many thanks for posting the two films on here.
They brought back lots of memories of motoring in the days when I first started driving and not forgetting the rail and shipping side of the 2nd film either.
The by-pass issues then especially the lack of passing trade are being experienced these days with new by-passes being built everywhere.
The problem is that we want to get everywhere too quickly!!!

I agree, the world moved at a slower pace when our cars were current and we were probably allot happier and less stressed for it!!
Best wishes,

Re: 1960's Road Films
Yes the world moved at a slower pace then but in my younger days I wanted to go faster than the world and so started tuning engines to enable me to do so. Now as a pensioner I would just like to keep up with the speed of the world. How times have changed!
