[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 100310, member: 302"] I found this glimpse into times gone by absorbing and fascinating, what great industries we had, I knew two people back then, one had a Rolls Royce and the other an XJ6 Jaguar, they swapped cars for a test drive and both agreed that the Jaguar was far superior, I also found it interesting that the narrator was Deryck Guyler, stalwart of British comedy, and playing the washboards, the very last clip of the film shows an E Type Jaguar overtaking an Austin A40 Farina, at that time my fathers chosen method of transport, I did drive it occasionally until the master cylinder failed and I failed to stop at the garage doors! I really wish my dear old Dad had had the E Type instead, far more fun. [/QUOTE]
