Riveting film of London to Brighton car run 1961
The embedded film in this post is a riveting 4 minute vintage home movie which captured the events of the London to Brighton car run in October 1961
This category archive page features the Films from the 1960s, i.e. films which were shot between the years 1960 and 1969.
Many of the films will have specific markings which prove they were filmed in the 1960s, but I’ve also included films which I’ve categorized by way of the content – films which feature women wearing Mary Quant check dresses for example would be in this category if they don’t have a date marked on them.
Another big clue which will determine the year the film was shot would be cars with number plates which show 1960s registration dates.
As I said on the 1950s category page, the 1950s and 1960s were the golden age of home movies, and this page already has the most content of any category page on Vintage Home Movies.
