Great find Warwickshire. I loved it. The archives of British Pathe are a bottomless treasure of period pieces like this one.
I particularly liked the reference to the "new style" of suits with their coats and trousers very slightly mismatched in color. I guess it wasn't very successful.
And also Jim Clark, one of my childhood heroes (and a stylish gentleman too, I see).
