  • The event took place 15-25 October 1969.

    "Angled shot showing Rover stand" - actually its the Triumph stand. The two cars seen revolving are a Triumph 2.5PI and a Triumph TR6. Then we cut to the Rover stand, showing off a Rover P6 3500.

    Next comes a cut-away example of a Reliant Scimitar.

    The Mini seen is a Mini 1275GT.

    "Unipower G-Y" should read Unipower GT.

    "Shots of the new Daimler Benz C111 on Mercedes stand" - although the commentator describes the vehicle as such, it's actually a Mercedes-Benz C111.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.

The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.
