BBC film depicts 'The Golden Age of the British Sports Car'


1965 MG Midget

(September 9, 2020) The BBC produced a documentary several years ago tracing the history of the British sports car during the decades of the 1950s and 1960s. The film covers many of the famous sports cars of that era from the Jaguar E-Type to the MG to the Austin Healey — and interesting owner experiences.

If you lived during those decades there's a good chance you owned one or at least had a friend who enjoyed driving top down is a Triumph or an MG.  

The hour-long production has many wonderful driving, rallying and racing scenes from the period, and includes commentary by some of the UK’s most esteemed historians, designers and engineers.
