1979: The Mallalieu: an upcycled custom built car with style

Nationwide took a visit to the Mallalieu car works in Oxfordshire. The small family business produced elegant custom-built cars by taking old Bentley Mk6 chassis and engines and rebuilding them by hand over 5 months. Each car was customised inside to the customer's particular specifications... but at a price.

Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, 12 February 1979.
