This is a documentary made by Ford in 1969 during the Safari Rally, where a Ford 20M RS won.
Not much is found on the internet about it, all I can provide is a youtube and a facebook link:

Originally posted by Robi as ^ from youtube. Caused much discussion on how to enter it due to uncertainties about exact title and status given lack of detail elsewhere on t'internet. Eventually resolved as
Sandie wrote This one is available on DVD: http://www.dukevideo.com/prd4085/Ford-on-Safari-DVD .... in a set of 4 Safari documentaries made by Ford
- East African Safari 1964 "Cortina Conquest"

..... so I bought the DVD - menu page:

For this 1969 film, these are the only title/credits

and nothing else on packaging to suggest a "better" title.

Pics now upgraded from DVD plus entries filled in with extra photos, comments etc. Online entry/results info incomplete eg http://www.ewrc-results.com/final.php?e=11652 , Link to "www.ewrc-results.com" , http://www.dlg.speedfreaks.org/archive/www2/miscral/69miscra.html , but I've got a big Safari rally book ....

Excellent film - lots of interesting background stuff for what was on the streets of Kenya at the time plus other curios:

Early colour blue Imp in Nairobi

RHD Taunus 17M [P3] in Nairobi

- so Kenya got both UK and D Fords in competition, and was another market for RHD Taunus

Some other 1969 EAS entries at /movie_64281-Eiko-e-no-5,000-kiro.html - none of this film's footage shows any of those entries.
