Full titles read: "Britain's New Wonder Car - Exclusive pictures of Capt. Malcolm Campbell's all-British 900 h.p. Napier-Campbell Bluebird to defend speed record for Britain against America's best."
Acton, London.
High angle M/S of a long motor car being pulled into position by two men in a garage. M/Ss from ground level pan along the length of the car and show the view from the front.
Note: this item is identical to 'Britain's New Wonder Car' - 714.08. This version was transferred from print.
After the above story there is a very brief section (10 seconds) which seems to be from the story THE NINE WOMEN MAYORS (G1470). The full story is on Pathe Master tape *PM0712* - as yet uncatalogued. This M/S pans across the group of female Mayors, looking very smart in their Mayoral robes and chains and laughing and chatting with each other, while a Naval officer (?) looks on.

With reference to the last paragraph in the shots list, none of that material exists in this particular clip.

"Note: this item is identical to 'Britain's New Wonder Car' - 714.08" - that number should read 714.07.
