Live from the golden age of motorsports: See all the greats of British auto racing, from Stirling Moss to Graham Hill, in this awesome newsreel clip from 1965. 

Though the 1960s, Britian’s annual Motor Racing Car Show each January was one of the keystone events of the motorsports off-season, giving the English racing community and the world at large an opportunity to celebrate the previous season and to prepare for the next. Here are just a few of the sights at the 1965 show included in this historic video:

+   BRM team principal Raymond Mays and driver Graham Hill presenting the organization’s latest BRM V8 1.5-liter Formula 1 car.

+   The McLaren-Elva V8 Mark I sports car, which would soon evolve into a series of all-conquering McLaren Group 7 Can-Am race cars.
