The time when car enthusiasts ruled the competitions without the interference of politics with these wonderful machines, a truly glorious era. Thank you sir for this film.
Very cool video. This is my favorite era for Sports car endurance racing. Its a remarkable presentation!!! Thanks
Thank you very much!
What a gem this video is
thank you
What a find .
Drivers mentioned include Jimmy Stewart , Jackie Stewart’s older brother , and Paul Frere who was very badly injured many years later whilst driving at the Nurburgring . And Peter Collins , who was killed at Nurburgring in 1958 .
I saw Collins win the 1958 British Grand Prix two weeks earlier . I was 5 years old !
Interestingly, Jimmy had a similar accident to Jackie's. Over turned in a D Type with fuel pouring over him. That was it for Jimmy, he quit racing that day...
Wonderful over all and En Detail. I am german and a Jaguar D Type driven by Mike Hawthorn and Desmond Titterington to me is as British as the SR.N4 Mountbatten. Which is missed here equally as the Ring as a racetrack is. Thankyou :)
Thanks for the upload. Always exiting to see the Jags, Ferraris, Maseratis and Astons - which are now worth millions - in raw action. And how surprising and frightening to watch this massive Ford Thunderbird convertible (driven by Günther Isenbügel and Helmut Rathjen) wobbling around the ring. It seems as if even a taxi would have been faster. On the other hand, a comparably bulky and heavy Mercedes Benz 220 S (driven by Reiner Günzler and Helmut Retter) reached 17th overall - a sensational result.
Marveling at the gorgeous hand-hammered bodies
Gorgeous. This is the best era for looks IMO
Good gracious, what wonderful clarity of sound and vision recreation. Which quite honestly is just as well, for there were many sights and sounds worth being there for; truly super.
Wonder what the time scale was for that transporter to complete it's jolly?
Many thanks!
Great film. According to John Wyer, Collins was never interested after signing for Ferrari
A fantastic piece of film and I love it even if Brooks Aston sounded in the added sound more like an Porsche 917 than that Aston DB 3s he drove. Cheers from Sweden!
that’s the problem with silent film. I am glad not all viewers have your wonderful ear.

Fantastic footage, especially the in car. Where is it from?
Built in 1923, re-surfaced...?

Thunderbird
