I dont know if anyone else remembers, but a good few years ago (guessing about 15 or more??) the BBC made a tv series called "Perpetual Motion" narrated by Warren Clarke (i think).
The first episode was about the Morris Minor, and looked at the history, had interviews with Jack Daniels and Reg Job, talked to owners etc etc.
I used to have it on video years ago, but dont any longer.
Anyone know where I can get a copy, or if anyone has a link to it online?
Thanks,
Phil
p.s. I've tried youtube, but just keep getting videos of things in perpetual motion.

ok, it looks like I have answered my own problem here.
I found the original copy I had (well my dads). Am happy to post online but trying to figure out a way of getting onto PC - dont want to fork out on some kit to convert it from VCR because I'd only use it the once.
I'll let you know if I get it sorted.

Have you tried using a TV card at all ... most Videos will output an RF signal (aerial) which can be decoded by a TV card & written to disk.

I've just found it available to download on
http://www.thebox.bz/ but you have to sign up to get access, as well as having a torrent application such as uTorrent. I'm downloading it now and might be able to place it on the Net where we can all access it. I'll keep you posted.

I really need to try harder before asking for help!!!!
My works laptop has a video card (never thought to check!!) so I'll see if I can copy from video to disk!
I'll let you know how I get on too.

I've now downloaded it and have converted it into standard DVD format, but I can't find anywhere to upload it without paying. So, if anyone really wants it just PM me your address and I'll send you a copy on DVD. I hope I don't get too inundated with requests!

So I better say the first five people to contact me will get a copy.
