Another Pathe DVD compilation of archive clips - this one trawling through their Austin collection. Five complete short films (about 10 minutes each):
- Austin Festival Review (1951)
- I Am A Car (1954)
- Making The Most Of It (1956)
- Return Journey (1957), and
- The Incredible Seven (1961).
Each of these will be entered as stand-alone films with their own pages.

Plus 4 bonus short films (about 2 minutes each) from newsreels, the contents all included on this movie page:

- Thatched Car (1950) here and here - entered as Extra1 in Episode box,
- Baby Austin Grows Up (1955) here and here - entered as Extra2,
- Rust In Peace (1963) here and here - entered as Extra3, and
- Fire Engine Mascot (1964) here and here - entered as Extra4.

Thatched Car (1950) has an even stranger sequel on Pathe as Thatched Car (1964) - bloke buys a 1949 Allard for £15 but could not afford the £40 for a replacement hood, so he thatched it ....

..... sometimes I am still amazed by the total stupidity of people. TC (1964) not on this DVD so sadly I can't justify a page for the Allard. Also sadly OVW 625 has disappeared - nothing on check sites and not recorded by owners club. Its owner probably decided to continue his creative efforts by replacing the steering wheel with a giant meringue and crashed it.

Baby Austin Grows Up (1955) is a report on the Austin Golden Jubilee 50th Anniversary celebrations at Longbridge
[Image: title.147.jpg]
... http://www.austinmemories.com/page166/page166.html has extra info and pictures.

Rust In Peace (1963) is a report on scrap cars in Reading (and not really about Austin at all), and Fire Engine Mascot (1964) is set at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk when it was used as a USAF base.

50/- = £2.50, so in those days you could buy a car for the price now of a small jar of Marmite. 7/6d = £0.37 = about the cost today of a Mars Bar.

 Another from Rust In Peace

I gave it a page thinking maybe Victor [F] but
electra225 wrote I rather suspect a BMC Farina.

johnfromStaffs wrote Definitely not a Victor F, look at the windscreen, the wrap around knee crusher is not there. Farina undoubtedly.


Too many possibilities for secure ID, so page abandoned.

 So the Pathe way is open ? :)

 ... provided there's a proper DVD, it should be OK. I'm finding them on Amazon fairly cheaply for about the windscreen price of a secondhand banger in 1963 (as above) ....
