Title: Secret Life of the Motorway
Post by: marcus on July 25, 2012, 08:06:38 AM

I have seen this a bit, but it was repeated on BBC TV last night, and 2nd part tonight. A fair bit of interesting News Reel film of planning and building the first motorwaus and bridges. Near the start was a scene of a traffic jam, and just visible near a bus at the back was a red Isetta. Another shot from a vehicle on a motorway and passing by on the other side of the road might have been a Scootacar, but very brief, and I was on the phone.

Anyway, quite interesting programme, lots of nice old vehicles to see, look out for it on i-player.

But no Bonds on the Preston bypass and thus the claim to be the first private cars to drive on our motorways. Whole lot of interesting motoring related programming but I wonder if much of this is on one of Rotts 'petro porno' videos. Milk floats, ooh!
