The car faces camera and the wheels turn at 90 degrees. This looks very comical and cartoon like. The car manouevres in and out of a tiny parking space by pivoting the wheels - marvellous The car drives off. There is then a high angle shot of the car as it turns 360 degrees in a cobbled yard A girl with hat sits in back. Note :The girl may say 'take me for a spin' but this is ridiculous. Its a lovely item, comical and the car is very much like the UK children's programme 'Brum'. BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it. Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance. British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.
