Summary
Pathe synopsis: Vintage and veteran cars on show in the historic setting of Beaulieu Abbey, in Hampshire, are far from being pensioned off. Under the watchful eye of the organiser, Lord Montague, they undergo stringent braking, reversing and manoeuverability tests. Taking their age into account, their performances are astonishing.
