Streets and Traffic In Windsor 1967

A short 8mm film illustrating road conditions in the late 1960s. There is no soundtrack to this film.

I just love old England, the older , the better, But here in 2022, I'm sad as hell. We have let the country down so badly.

Excellent film, thanks for putting it up. Film must be from November/December 1967 as the Mark 1 Escort was launched in Britain in November that year.

Yes l was going to add that comment about the ford escort,l thought they came out in 68 .Lots of mk 2 Cortinas ,l only remember seeing 1950s cars and Anglia only childhood in 67 ,never realised the ford transit was out then .

[@mikemartin2957]

@@Marty-hu7rw the Escorts were announced in November '67 , though prototypes had been seen during 1966 with the petrol filler on the rear panel to the right of the number plate! They had done extensive testing abroad,but were also spotted in the Halewood area of Merseyside & no doubt around Essex! The Mk1s went on sale in January '68. Ford were keen to get as many made in '67 so there would be plenty to be sold .
