Halcyon days . When there was pride in the early years of the motor industry. How much would that leather upholstery cost today! Great to watch and you wouldn't be able to see this anywhere else?
I still remember the thousands of miles of gravel roads we traversed in rural South Western Australia in the 1950's. Dust was able to penetrate the Austin A40's door seals easily, so you just put up with it and enjoyed the experience anyway. The trick was to wash your mouth out thoroughly before lunchtime thus reducing the crunching noise when eating.
It's fascinating. I've restored a few seats for Austin 7s recently and salvaged the original material for re-use. Really well put together. Also, I love how the heavy duty fabric cutters were identical to ones I used when I worked in a factory only a couple of years ago!
Very cool ! It was a strange mixture of efficiency and inefficiency. That box of fittings for each body looked like a real time-waster, but wages were low.
@@jackflashvintagemotoring7586 I bought a 1937 Cambridge in 1970 for £10 sold on in 73 after miles of reliable motoring ,it's still being used and taxed by current owner . That's value for money,
The noise with all those Industrial Sewing Machines and Cutters must have been horrendous. Most of the workers must have suffered from partial deafness.
