A Bit of Fun at the Chequered Flag


An elegantly-dressed foursome hurriedly crosses a busy Chiswick High Road before engaging in what looks like an uncoordinated car heist outside the Chequered Flag showroom. The driver in the Isetta - a popular bubble car of the period - manages to get going first, but not without a few hiccups. His fellow racers struggle on, attempting to start the stubborn engines while oblivious passers-by stumble into shot. The film features notable local Graham Warner.
