Might I commend you all to YouTube, where by requesting 'motorfilms.tv' you can view samples of what David Weguelin has spent much of his life finding, restoring, re-editing and preserving. These are just tasters for the full video footage available.

Happy browsing...

Doug and David Weguelin do a magnificent job with this project, now for many years. When you subscribe to Motor Films ,every 3 months you receive a 90 min DVD by post which has typically 6 or more motor racing films much of it either recently discovered lost footage , or newly restored films. All forms of motorsport are covered.
As with anything like this it relies on long term subscribers to produce demand for copies to finance the costs and the enormous amounts of time I know it takes to produce a finished set of films with introduction, explanation and commentary on films typically 30 -80 years old or more.

If you like watching old motor sport and trade films from bygone eras, this is the very best available I think and becoming a subscriber will help secure it for the future. Subscribing for 4 issues brings a discount making them post free.
25 previous DVDs have been produced all of which back numbers are still I believe available, all of which are fascinating to watch.
Great that someone as expert with old film as David is still sorting through cans of film unseen for many decades , restoring editing and compiling and making it available to all of us. Highly recommended, support it if you can.
