This film is from the Wilkinson collection and contains footage of a couple of different motor car racing events. There is also footage of a classic car convoy driving along a road.
Men and women have gathered on the side of a road to watch a convoy of classic cars drive by. There are lots of other cars and bicycles driving along the road and some of the classic car drivers wave at the camera.
The camera pans along one side of a road and captures the size of the crowd of spectators that have parked their cars along the side. Following this is a point of view shot from the front of a car as it drives along the road behind bicycles and motorbikes. The car passes a sign for `Burton Agnes'.
The next section cuts to black and white and takes place on a race track; lots of motor cars race around the track.
The following section cuts to colour where a road has been turned into a race track. Barriers have been set up and spectators gather along the side as sports cars drive along.
Cars drive into a field and then there is a shot of a young boy riding along in a miniature car. The camera pans across to the show another race track which is shrouded in mist; lots of motor cars race along the track. The camera captures shots of the standing and seated spectators as well as the spectators who are running along behind the barriers, trying to keep up with the race.
