Default Golden Age of Sports Cars

Here's some great old footage of British sports cars, including our favorites, that recently aired on the BBC and is well worth watching if you loved British iron from the 50s and 60s. Each part is 15 minutes, so allow time to enjoy them as they run together.

Have not looked at them yet but 3 GT6+, Spitfire, original Cooper S and a couple Mini's makes me a Brit Car fan

watched it and enjoyed the vintage films of what were new cars when I was growing up. My dad nearly bought a Bug (frog) eyed Sprite which would have been real interesting during our Montreal winters

I am still driving my TR-6 that I bought for my birthday in August of 1971. I never thought that I would have it this long (41 years). But I taught the ex-wife, my daughter and two sons how to drive in it. I have no plans of ever selling it; I love driving it on the back roads of where I live.
