26-minute promo film for Rover 3-Litre launch in September 1958. Source of much early footage for Rover: The Long Goodbye, usually with better (original) quality. Lots of Rover history, starting with founder James Starley making bicycles - his Safety Bicycle - ... and the first named Rover Film can be seen at youtube (good quality) and Pathé (muddy); both sites split it into 3 reels, and to give reliable timings I've entered pages as if each reel is a separate episode. Youtube Reel 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WAOUpUUO30 Reel 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiq73_KUJgM Reel 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N79kzwNfUIk Pathé News Reel 1 - Link to "www.britishpathe.com" Reel 2 - Link to "www.britishpathe.com" Reel 3 - Link to "www.britishpathe.com" |
