Archive Footage - Prewar driving in Gloucester

Some archive footage of the London Gloucester Reliability trials - which just happened in the Cotswolds and date back to when it was damned impressive of a car to get up an ordinary hill without stopping. (Originally it was a London to Gloucester drive).

This might seem crazy today, but even in the 1960's my parents were never quite sure if their little car could drive the Cotswolds part of the A40 without stopping.
