The auto-history.tv film and photographic archive has been accumulated over many years from numerous sources, including motor manufacturers, government departments, military organisations, film and TV production companies and elsewhere.
The film archive
contains literally hundreds of individual motoring films from the past 100+ years. The range of films covers everything from some of the earliest known recordings of motorised transport from the end of the 1890s, to many films featuring the subsequent development and evolution of the motor car throughout the 20th Century.
A significant number of the films, most of which are between two and 10 minutes in length, were previously thought to have been “lost” or destroyed and have largely remained unseen for more than 50 years.
The complete collection, which currently consists of approximately 550 films, covers every aspect of motoring history, including the beginning of mass production, world land speed record runs, car commercials, motor shows, new car launches, the evolution of car design, experimental cars, flying cars, famous drivers, stunt driving, unusual military machines and more. There’s also extensive racing footage from Le Mans, Indianapolis, Monte Carlo and many of the other major international motor racing circuits, as well as hill climbs, street racing and stock car racing from around the world.
In addition, we also possess an extensive motoring photographic archive containing images of cars from the end of the 19th Century up to the present day, including a wide assortment of pictures of many of the world's greatest cars, as well as cars in locations across the world.
