No sign of lights, or even reflectors on the back in the dark and bicycle lamps for head lights.
Those were the days

Makes you proud , doesn't it
My car would have been only 6 weeks old when they did that! Really love those sort of challenges. Nowadays if you used a Morris Minor folks would stop and look

What a great piece of film.
For those of us who use this forum and not to offend anyone. Is it only me who thinks that the driver looks very much like our friend Matt. Coles?

Puts me in mind of a film available on dvd called the straight story.
Alvin Strait decides to visit his brother-interstate and his only form of transport is a John Deere lawnmower,well worth a watch, a gentle film.

I counted 16- only 1 lowlight, 1 van and 1 traveller -rest where saloons
Very nice. Nothing like today. If they did that today they would have to do 100 risk assessments, wear hi-vis jackets shoes socks . and probably have a police escort, ambulance and fire engine following them!!!
