1971-1973 N.Z. Motor racing film footage - mainly circuit saloons!
"Golden Era"!, motor racing, saloons and single seaters, movie footage 1971-73, (Standard and Super 8 and some 16), most of the coverage from 1972.
Film was professionally transferred to VHS in the 1980's and recently put into digital format, with some restorative work done.
Film footage was all taken by Martin Bearda and is reproduced and available for sale with his kind permission. The early part of the film is a little grainy and has some colour imperfections, but it rapidly improves and the colour and crispness is very evocative of the era. Martin has produced many great views by using diverse locations to film and this adds a lot of interest to the film. Please note the movie is SILENT, has no sound (typical of the era) and runs over an hours duration.
