Скачать или смотреть Vanguard Cars Mock Ad 1983

Parody of a 1983 car ad which we cannot find now - maybe it was Honda Accord? Filmed in glorious Super-8mm film. Digitised to submit to the "Decades in Colour" TV Programme. They did not use it but that did give us a useful push to dig it out of the cupboard and release it upon the world again.

The Vanguard was a British car of the late 1940s and 1950s known for its strong heavy build and reliability. These ones provided transport for us into the 1980s. This is a snapshot from the end of an era in New Zealand where currency restrictions meant a restricted supply of car imports to a car loving nation. So there was a culture of tinkering and repairing to keep the old ones going. Kinda like Cuba.

My digitisation method is to adapt a Super-8mm/Standard-8mm projector mechanism to run very slowly then take still photos of individual frames. More info on that at:
