"Fyfe Robertson reflects on his life with the motorcar and recalls some nostalgic memories of his life on four wheels. From the Model T Ford, via the Vauxhall 3098, to modern delights like the Rolls Royce Camargue and the humble Mini, Fyfe considers our evolving relationship with the car. Are cars too ubiquitous nowadays? Has driving stopped being fun?"

Clip taken from Robbie: The Car, originally broadcast on BBC One, Thursday 24 July, 1975.

 

Also nice to see some film of Mini Vans and Pickups, Clubman Estates and 1275GT on the BL production lines.Plus Wood & Picket production in London as a bonus!

ROB 1 E the numberplate on his black Wood & Picket Clubman is now on a 2007 5998 cc Bentley.

Ironically in the film he thought big cars were on the way out...while standing amongst unsold BL Triumph 2000's which now seem quite small when compared to most modern cars and SUV's on the roads today.
