About 1965. Don’t fool yourself, things are basically still the same. Stop panicking and enjoy your life.

so nice to hear cliff michelmore's voice, so familiar in my childhood from the bbc's "tonight" programme. yes, i'd forgotten about the rather iffy hair, but hey, it was the sixties, even for the follically challenged ... as regards many of the comments below about the depreciation of crewe era rolls-royce and bentley cars, this is quite normal when you consider how many of them have survived, as opposed to how many people actually have the means (and essential garage space) to run one. i drive my 1988 bentley turbo r several times a week in all but the worst of weather (strictly no salt), always drying the car off after rain. it has been a sheer delight for the last five years. the street prices of these cars may go down or up, but the real value never changes. there is nothing else that comes close. strip away the pomp and circumstance and you are still left with a fantastic piece of engineering and craftsmanship.

I live at Bempton nr Bridlington and a1/2 an hour's car drive to Scarborough, born 1947,most of the children in the village would go to Sunday School and every year we all had a day out at Scarborough and we were given 5 shillings spending money,and the best part was we went by steam train,at that age i thought i had travelled to the other side of the world, times were tough and we didn't go away on holidays but apart from Christmas this was the highlight of the year,LOL, Happy times.

We first went to Scarborough on holiday in the early 1970's. I remember Corrigan's funfair at the end of the promenade and the Windmill amusement arcade at the other end, which had a model railway layout on the top floor. The arcade was in between 2 clifftop railways.

In the woke world of today you can't give these away. No one wants what they represent or stand for. Some will see you drive by and follow you home to rob you. If at a stop light/sign or fuel station may outright attack or damage the car. Currently i've been seeing hundreds of RR's for sale on YT. All thinking someone will still pay half a mill for a car requiring $70K for a typical servicing. I'd say just put it in a museum but even the museum's are trying to get rid of them. These days are gone.

Sadly it is true that they are worth very little, especially considering the incredibly high price hen new. They are complex and require proper maintenance and many didn't get that. Parts are easily available but very expensive. I don't know about newer (BMW) Rolls, but good older ones can be found and used as daily drivers if you are prepared to pay for their care and gas consumption. Not all is lost.

Brilliant. I wonder whether they gave Chris Mitchemore a freebie for producing this ? I'm sure he'd have aspired to one but as a lowly BBC presenter it would have been a few notches above his class. I bet they did a deal with him though ! Great vid, cheers Chris.

I remember as a kid going to Scarborough for a short holiday with my mum and dad. Went to see Max Jaffa and his orchestra. That was about 1971 I think. Only lives 70 miles away but in those days there was no such thing as a package holiday (at least for us) so Scarborough was like the other side of the world....despite only living 70 miles away. I do think though that we do tend to look at the past with rosy specs though. Yes we have lost a lot of the good things, but shed a lot of bad stuff as well. Who remembers as a kid ice on the inside of your bedroom window (when we had winters). No central heating and the only way you got hot water when mum or dad spent half an hour getting a coal fire started and then opening the heater plate at the back of the fire place to heat the hot water for a wash in the sink in a freezing cold bathroom. Of subject a little I suppose but yes I wish I could go back in time for one day.

As a child, during the entire sixties, I think we must have had a week or two at Scarborough in August/September, during the annual cricket festival at the North Marine Road ground. Sometimes, my father played there. At other times, we spent the days on the North Bay near Scalby Mills, having rented one of the "bungalows", now long gone. Happy days and thank you for the reminder!

I spent years at Scarborough as a kid, and still keep visiting regularly. Great times. But what you really notice watching any video from that era is how clean and tidy places look. We seem to be living in a disrespectful shithole compared to back then, what the hell went wrong?? Oh wait, Governments! Such a shame when you think back to what this country was, and had.
