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.
The GOAT of Personal Luxury Cars
Thank you for uploading; beautiful car, people and injured the times where much easier to live in then today
My favorite Rolls-Royce. They are extremely rare.
516 units produced
@@spadescalimero Sir, my sources give a production number of 531.
@@spadescalimero How many left ?
Actually looks very classy compared to BMWs offerings today
Lovely film - but definitely better with the sound turned off !
Yes I agree. It's not to my taste.
beautiful film but the music is atrocious
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, UA-cam 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.
Worked on some of the early ones at Crew factory
I wonder if this particular Camargue is still on the road?
Well done, family had a Betamax back in the day...OH SORRY YEAH ROLLER we're talkin bout ;-) lol Saw new 2 door Coupe yesterday in car park opposite us here. MASSIVE German beast.
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.
oh oui
Jeeze that music is awful 😣
Hehe. I agree!
Not as beautiful as the British coach built cars. Milliner Park ward, James Young. Etc.
Are you referring to HJ Mulliner and Park Ward?
The Camargue was built by Mulliner Park Ward, in London, UK.
@@gro9465 it was designed by pininfarina.
@@stringer-ik1pc Indeed, Paolo Martin.
@@gro9465Yes, but designed by some Italians with a grudge, I've seen a few back then, what an ugly car.
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.
Not in 1973 tho .
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.
