For fans of old British sports cars, these films are a real treat.

Very proper choice of music, and very 1960:s! Nostalgia!

That GT6 is still alive somewhere, fascinating!!!!!

J'adore le salon de l'automobile. Ypostel.

3.15. Nice AC 427, Reg LPH800D, the very car which would soon be whisking Linda Thorson's Tara King character around in The Avengers. The car was later considered too much of a muscle car for a woman and she was given a red Lotus Elan 2+2 followed by a Lotus Europa. This was presumably more in line with Diana Rigg's Emma Peels mode of transport of first a white and then a grey Lotus Elan roadster.

Sixtiesdude1 Remember seeing one on display in Rackham's department store Birmingham.

Life was ,simpilar then ,and great music to

I used to live a couple of streets away form Earls Court. It was great popping over the road to see one exhibition or another. I hear they are knocking it down to increase population density and pollution.

@@dorkadezso5826 No I have not been back in many years. I moved away in 1975

Yep, 1966. My dad's Vauxhall Cresta JTO 787 D.

That AC. Enough said !

All those cars look lovely to my 21st century-eyes ... Driving a GT6 between all those SUV's today, would be quite an adventure though. Other thing I noticed is how similar the cortina and the hunter looked, was that purely coincidental? But if I were around in 1966 and had to buy a reasonably priced British car, i'd probably choose that viva with its handsome "coke bottle"-style.

Must have been after 31st. August 1965 (when the "D" license plate was released)

Luckily enough the Morris marinas all came with a complimentary bus timetable,

Would hit the dashboard every time you put your Ford Cortina in first?

Is it my imagination or did the door to the Aston Martin Volante ‘jump’ when the model opened it? ‘60s engineering eh?
