Good film obviously made by some kind of pervert/peeping tom! Surprised the way he was filming some blokes girlfriend he wasn't still carrying the camera but with both hands free and a detailed film of his colon. And up skirting that plastic dummy. Excellent car shots , never seen a mini with the spare wheel on the boot lid before. You also forget that classic British sports cars were once owned by tw#ts seeing the TR4 full of hooray henries 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2020 It is indeed a Powerdrive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerdrive They even tried a 4 wheel version (page down) https://smallcarsclub.com/catalog/powerdrive/powerdrive/ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 19, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) That last ad seems to imply that Conti TS radials must be so awful that no one wants to even steal them. Edited August 19, 2020 by PhilJ W 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I thought it not the cleverest advert ever..... I remember the Mini Dunlop 70 ad though as at the time I also had a Cooper S with the same tyres. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2020 I think that this is on the right thread as a "true" Mini albeit a late one, 1985. It is an advertisement vehicle for Wye Valley Brewery and normally to be found outside the brewery at Stoke Lacey. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2020 I’d say that’s more likely an early 90s mini with a private plate 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

faulcon1 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Found this lovely old film made in 1963 of a car drive to Bath. There's no car sound but there is commentary. Drivers haven't changed. Unfortunately it's only at 240p Edited September 2, 2020 by faulcon1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alastairq Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 My take of it was....nice commentary drive, good use of vocabulary....explanations for a certain course of action, concise and correct...{sorry, I'm retired now, but I used to mess with such stuff, and get paid for it}... Not only does the human element of driving not change [increased numbers, as Pat mentioned] but I doubt very much whether anything but the tiniest percentage of drivers on the roads actually go through the same thought processes, and considerations,heard on the commentary. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted August 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2020 Some cars don't have a full sized spare wheel now, but didn't realise you could just get a half wheel I bet that is clostrophobic in the back or is there a king size bed in there Beautiful condition though 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matchbox did one. Nice colour, shame about the car. So did Tomica, a far better model than the Matchbox one. Its also to 1/77 scale so ideal for 00 scale layouts. It came in several colours including white over maroon as above. I have two examples in my collection, the white over maroon as mentioned and the white over yellow as illustrated. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
