Austin 8 over the hills

Right after the introduction of the Austin Eight an introduction movie was made; "Over the hills among Lakeland Mountains"

An Austin Eight ascends an aggregate of 25,000 ft in twelve and a half hours in the English Lake District.

Wonderful colourful introduction movie. Where till then movies were in black-white, this movie was the first in "technicolor"
