[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Sadly, I can name every car here. Something I can't do today.

Virtually all the cars are British made. What went wrong?

Sumat wrong with the video footage, it's all grey with a complete lack of colour

Nope.....it was really like that in 68'.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

The media was like that in 68, but the world was a psychedelic dayglo kaleidoscope man.

[Keith ABS]

 Only a couple I could not name but think they were both Austins
Wonder how many of them are still in existance today in the hands of an enthusiast

[Sir Tigger KC]

I thought that and only spotted 3 or 4 foreign built cars. 

I say 3 or 4 as one might be the same car. 

[Rangie]

Recognised them all ,had some of them & lusted after a few .. Indeed what went wrong ☹️

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Not many (any) BMW on show. Fritz was still smarting from the war, which had only ended 23 years before.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

.......nothing 'froggie' there either to tempt French Albs.

[BazaJT]

Sorry to contradict Opti but there's a Renault Dauphine heading away from the camera in the bit that shows the hitchhikers.Only saw one German[Merc SL 190?]but many-like my dad-at that time would still not buy a German car because of the war!As to what went wrong [mis]management lack of investment for new models bolshie unions/workforce.

Yep...you're right, Mr Baza. I think I caught a glimpse of a Saab 96 as well.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

....and a proper Skoda with the engine at the back, built in Czechoslovakia.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I've spotted the Merc, a VW Beetle, the Saab and Baza's Renault. 

The Saab makes two appearances with the guys on the tandem.

Ooo where was that?
