Description |
Pre- and post-war race trails involving the North West MG Car Club as well as veteran car rallies and racing at Oulton Park in Cheshire. The film begins with officials talking with each other, cars doing speed trials then during off road trials we see the cars struggling to get up a muddy hill and a women driver changing a wheel After race scenes at Oulton Park we have more trial scenes with the cars crossing a river then a young couple enjoying a picnic. A veteran car rally is followed by MG club members on the A556. More car trials with the drivers and passengers bouncing up and down to help the car gain traction in muddy conditions. Scenes from the 1949 Cockshoot trial are followed by another veteran car rally and a car race on a disused airfield. |
