Just been looking through the Pathe, and found this:

A lovely look at a Motoring themed pub in the late 50s. Coincidentally, its the same pub neil Morrissey bought and converted into a restaurant.

Lots of other niceties on the Pathe news clips

That pub does remind me of the one in American Werewolf in London , I was half expecting Brian Glover to be inside telling Yorkshire tales and jokes that make outsiders feel uncomfortable !

I enjoyed these two as well , some ideas at these motor shows have come full circle , pretty girls have always been a feature as well smile
