I still remember the thousands of miles of gravel roads we traversed in rural South Western Australia in the 1950's. Dust was able to penetrate the Austin A40's door seals easily, so you just put up with it and enjoyed the experience anyway. The trick was to wash your mouth out thoroughly before lunchtime thus reducing the crunching noise when eating.

Halcyon days . When there was pride in the early years of the motor industry. How much would that leather upholstery cost today! Great to watch and you wouldn't be able to see this anywhere else?

Fabulous stuff. I love the plummy commentary and the over-the-top music.

Pre-War cars are _so beautiful!_ 😍

Take me back to that time

It's fascinating. I've restored a few seats for Austin 7s recently and salvaged the original material for re-use. Really well put together. Also, I love how the heavy duty fabric cutters were identical to ones I used when I worked in a factory only a couple of years ago!

Fascinating stuff and the narrator has got a very funny accent .

Que hermoso, como me hubiera gustado haber vivido en esa época!!!

Very cool ! It was a strange mixture of efficiency and inefficiency. That box of fittings for each body looked like a real time-waster, but wages were low.

Oh the days before health and safety, and the job gets done

“Austin of England” the badge said. What else did you need to know back then?

clever down scale of actors and prop house to make the motor seem bigger,!

The noise with all those Industrial Sewing Machines and Cutters must have been horrendous. Most of the workers must have suffered from partial deafness.

And so many 30s austins survive and in everyday use .

Forget about the” motor car”.Rather,listen to the voice,alas like the Austen motor company,long gone.

Must rush out and chew some nails/tacks.

All destroyed by British Leyland in one fell swoop.
