Brief scenes from a London to Brighton Vintage Car Rally, then different vintage Rolls Royce and Bentley cars take part in a "Concours d'Elegance," probably at Oulton Park in Cheshire. The family take a holiday in the Loire valley, watching Bastille day celebrations and visiting a vintage car museum. There is also footage of the Le Mans 24-hour car race, with the drivers coming in for pit-stops during the race. The Oldham Carnival parade passes down Abbey Hills Road in Oldham, and there are further views of a vintage car rally at Oulton Park. The family are seen at home at Christmas in 1967, the children play with their toys, and there are scenes from their youngest daughter's first birthday party. |
