Default The streets of London - 1970

This Pathe video on Youtube is a delight for any fan of 1960's cars. So few foreign cars (the odd Beetle) and an amazing number of Corsairs, seemingly more than Cortina's. More Ford's than any other brand - and look out for the bus heading for Old Ford

I would have been 11 when this was filmed and as a Londoner much of it is familiar. On one of the buses there's an ad for Red Rovers, like a travel card today. During school holidays we would often get a Red Rover and spend a whole day hoping from bus to bus with no real plan other than to make sure we got home eventually. All for about 30p in today's money.
