I've been browsing some of the Look at Life films made by Rank Films in the late 50s & early 60s.
Getting a Move On - 1961

About 6 minutes in, rescuing a Minor, presumably on the A1 as it's somewhere north of Stamford, as the Removals Truck heads up to Scotland....

How NOT to tow a Morris Minor: Wrap the tow rope around the flimsy front bumper valance
I agree though - a most interesting film.

Reminds me of assembling a Mini in the 1970s at the Queens Hotel, Cheltenham. I am the one by the N/S door 'A' post.
The others are from left to right - Mr Roger Formby, Mr Jim Loveday & Mr Richard Giles. We were representing Cirencester Car Club.
We got the chance to assemble the Mini on my quick answer regarding wet liners.
Whilst we were quick we did not qualify with a low enough time for the national event.
We got our photos in the press though and below is a press photo taken during the event.

Fantastic film, I wish I'd been in amongst those crowds watching those racing events live!
Also good to see that my model of Triumph was put through such rigorous tests pre-launch.

A great memory for there Phil. Bet you feel like that was yesterday though and the years in between have flown by too fast....
Best wishes,
Mike.

Seems it's no longer available - copyright issues?
