What a time capsule this is! Great piece of footage, thanks for posting Gene I did manage to spot a coupe of Mercs in there but those were certainly the days of a healthy British car industry. Sam.

That's an excellent clip ST. Really enjoyed that.
Interesting to see at 23.43 the club that was used in the film 'Villain' It was located at #8 Chesterfield Gardens. Once owned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah, Brother of the Sultan of Brunei – along with another house nearby, the properties were sold by the Prince in 2012 for £81 Million to founder of Phones4U John Caudwell.
Thanks for sharing this Saint. Great documentation of a moment in time.
Gene.

How attractive was London, and Britain generally, then

Michael Caine on the Des O’Connor show, not sure of the year but I reckon about 30 years ago.
What a gentleman, no huge ego, a real star.

Agreed. He is a true gent and not a bit aloof. Nice find ST Gene.

Was going to post footage of Brands Hatch March 1974 with a great period soundtrack - but playback has been disabled - Oh well Check it out on Tube of You though
