Recorded: Late 1980s
Original Recorder: Toshiba V8700 Beta VCR Copied From VHS Tape
Recovered With: (very tired) Sony SL-HF950ES Super Betamax VCR
Rolls-Royce film showing a couple travelling in England and France in a Camargue. It has Rolls-Royce number plates, so may be a prototype. There is no commentary in this film, and it's probably from early to mid 1970s.
(Australian Translation - Pair of tossers prancing around Pommy Land and France in a Rolls barge with weird music.)
My apologies for the sound and picture quality problems with this video. These were copied a long time ago and the tapes have sat unused.
If there are any copyright problems with this film, please let me know and I'll remove it.

I wonder if this particular Camargue is still on the road?

Wouldn't it e fantastic to find the original camera negative and completely remaster this. It looks like a really high quality production behind the vhs/betamax fuzz

I agree with you. The VHS tapes I copied these from were already at least second generation. For some reason after uploading, KZfaq darkened the videos as the originals aren't this dark.

@@deltic i only can tell you that the jerky image and the artifake which are on the bottom of the picture to see from a worn band train and worn video head and dirty video cassette. There are cleaning agents for this. The video head must be replaced by a new one. Uploading to Odysee would be a possibility, especially since they are not interested in the video qualities. and also Odysee would then have more high quality than just over Politics or archeology.

beautiful film but the music is atrocious

It was styled after a Fiat coupe' that Paolo Martin admired. I've seen the Fiat, and it's a plausible story. The rear of the Camargue looks unfinished, like a base model 1970 Ford Maverick.

From the rear it looks like a 77 Caprice.

It does. The 1977 Chevrolet was a particularly handsome car and if anything, was better looking than the Carmargue.

@@deltic Yeah, those old US cars look so poised, at least for me. The Italian influence on the design of the Camargue may make it look a little odd. I'm not such a big fan of the Italian car design.

Are you referring to HJ Mulliner and Park Ward? The Camargue was built by Mulliner Park Ward, in London, UK.

Beautiful car, but too big - also, notice the lack of attention to detail when he opens the door for her, only for her to struggle to reach back for the seat belt - a merc would have the belt electronically delivered to her easy reach - what a sad swan-song for the UK car industry - when 'we' thought we were still great Britain.

It's no linger than a Silver Shadow and no wider than many modern cars. As for the seat belt, what a stupid comment, name a Mercedes from that period that has seat belt presenters.
