I bought lots of musical kit in Percy prior’s over the years, a treasure trove of a shop

@@miracledoge pretty sure its where i got my first classical guitar from. It was there or rose-hill in Beaconsfield so long ago lol.

i was also born in the shrubbery in 1970, i think the model shop was called Keens ?

I was born at the Shrubbery as well but in 1971. My Dad was a GP, he helped to deliver a lot of babies there through the 70s and 80s until it was closed down.

One of the reasons I love watching these old videos is for the old cars. I just watched a video from San Francisco in 1960, lots of cool cars. Cheers!

can you identify the white car in front of the mini at 25secs?

Datsun maybe

Gordon bennet he’s a giant

he was using a drone ... it was petrol driven back then

And a lot cleaner..

Looks like a Ginetta G15.

What do you mean?

What you talking about? Unchecked mass immigration and multiculturalism has enriched our lives for the better; right?

Its the result of British Imperialism in other countries of your forefathers..so bear with it

@@nowherepeople3431 it is!! it just come with some disadvantages..nothing is a bed of roses! 🐱👍🏿

@Jack Warner Rose-tinted spectacles can be very powerful. I recall Wycombe in the 70's. It wasn't great. That shopping centre was grey and grimy, with the stink of exhaust fumes as you got nearer the bus station at the far end from the High Street. People whine about Eden but all that did was replace a car park, and some not particularly attractive crumbling buildings. Some things were better. Lots of smaller independent shops as opposed to the monotonous chain stores, but that's a problem with any similar-size town these days.
