Seen this great piece of film a number of times and never tire of it, thanks for posting it up Villain! Trying to pinpoint the year it was recorded is interesting, I'd guess at 1975. Although some posters on FB groups say it is possibly later. But I don't notice any MK4 Cortinas in the film (being just 2 examples of cars) but we do see at least one MK2 Capri go past (launched in Spring '74). The Citroen brakes a bit quick if I remember rightly! A great time capsule on seeing a familiar location!

Great though isn't it, I never tire of watching this sort of thing either... I'd say it was '74 / '75-ish too, no later. Villain

I've always admired the citreons from back in the day.As Villain says,they are like marmite-I just think they seem so ahead of their time for the period in which they were made.I had a Citreon GS Pallas,it was my first car,and I swear it drove absolutely beautifully.The hydraulic suspension was so comfortable,it was like moving on a bed of air.The Citreon in the clip here,wasn't this the model where,if you had your headlights on,they changed direction when you turned the steering wheel?I think I read somewhere that back in the late 60s and early 70s they were used as Presidential cars in their native France.Real flagship cars back then,and I suppose they are worth good money nowdays.

At 0.15 to 0.17 a Bedford Cf with sliding doors passes by. Was it a law or something that if you had a van with sliding doors then you MUST DRIVE WITH THE DOOR OPEN Has anyone ever seen one go by with the driver door shut I haven't. I had a '79 Sherpa van (ANY 63T) with sliding doors when I was 18 and was led to believe that you HAD to drive them with the doors open which was great fun! Got bloody cold in the winter though!!
