Yep, there's a few places in the clips that would no doubt raise eyebrows these days, these releases from Pathe/BBC archives are definitely period pieces.
I can remember the first time I went to a motor show, I think it was very early 70s and being amazed at the whole deal. Girls all over the cars, cars cut in half and some very weird and exotic cars which would never make production. A complete contrast to the last time around '89 when Helen decided she wanted a hot hatch but didn't know which one. Rather than spend days travelling around all the dealers we went to the show and saw them all at once. No cutaways, the models fully dressed, no "show specials". IIRC TVR stuck with the bikini-clad girls but that was about it.....
