Strictly TT

not sure who the people are, but there is definitely original Austin Works car engine noises in the very first bit! 1931-ish perhaps?

perhaps people could interpret what they know at which time marks, so others can benefit?

Sorry if this has been posted before - couldnt find anything on a search...

3.15ish first Seven...

Nice bit of film.
I suspect the film was actually a silent that has had the engine noises added on later.
I did pick up the distinct noise of a meadows engined hyper leaf and the sound of an austin as well as some nice six cylinder sounds.

wow,

love the total ignorance of the danger with fuel spillage.

to throw milk churns of fuel into filler hopper, and you can see it splashing about. with hot engines around.

brave or stupid comes to mind.

Not so much ignorance, since this occurred during the first TT in 1928:

It was just a known risk that they accepted; Chris Garner mentions this incident in the other thread on the Ards TT. The car was uninsured and destroyed, although like most Bugattis it survives today.

Cracking film.  I think I spotted the Barnes Bros. Austin 7 'Earthquake' 12.57 into the film.

Does anyone know who the chap speaking at the beginning is? He doesn't look old enough to be involved from that time, but is clearly someone respected. And is there a longer film that exists that is available perhaps?

The guy talking at the start of the film is the late Mike Wylie, Belfast's autonumeroligist (or number plate manufacturer). I'm currently rebuilding the body of his old Austin Seven 65 model.
