Caravan Rally (1960)

M/S of two cars pulling caravans driving along a road at Oulton Park, past a sign saying ’Road Rally, Checkpoint’; they both turn off to the right. M/S as we see one of them (a twin tone Humber Sceptre) drive across the field to where some men in coats and bobble hats are waiting; the men make notes on clipboards and give directions to the driver. C/U of the driver, Mr Barrett standing at his open car door and using an electric shaver. Commentator says “From all over Britain more than a hundred have driven an average 250 miles through the night to compete in the Sixth road rally organised by the Caravan Club“. M/S of a hill-climbing test; the car (a Ford Consul) pulls the caravan up slowly up the hill; an official drops a flag as it passes. M/Ss of the driving judgement test; on a kind of marked racetrack the driver has to weave in and out of some bollards - bollards are adjusted for the width of each car and caravan (we see a Humber Sceptre taking the test).
