Summary

Pathe synopsis: A seventeenth-century inn at Marton-cum-Grafton, Yorkshire, is a mecca for the finest cars of today and yesterday. Besides being used as a checkpoint during rallies, its interior decor is in keeping with its associations with the motoring world. There is a fine collection of over 250 badges and rally badges, a chandelier made from an old steering wheel, a carpet with a vintage car motif, and many accurate scale models of cars old and new. And the call for "time" is acccentuated by a few blasts on an old, but very loud, bulb hooter.
