This clip is currently dated 1970-79, but there are a couple of things that help to reduce this.
Firstly, the car seen pulling in to the garage at 00:11 is a Triumph Spitfire Mk4 with a K-registration. This dates the footage to at least August 1971.
Secondly, the Esso "Olympics Collection" advertised at 01:29 was produced specifically for the 1972 Olympics.
The footage, then, can safely be dated as being in the 1971-73 range.
By the way, an advert at 05:16 shows that petrol is 32.5p per gallon. Those were the days!
