keith1948 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Was browsing the internet when I came across this 1960's cine film of UYM 990 in Scotland. The car is still on the road so if you own this car then have a look at this film of your car back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dllwl8Iz8FI Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hi Keith, What a great find and thanks for sharing. I don’t know the car but used to know that Lochaernhead Hotel well back in the early 80’s, Ewen Cameron owned and ran it, he also used to win the caber tossing every year at the Highland Games and he ‘invented waterskiing’ in Scotland .......I used to go out with his daughter, who was terrific fun.... That’s quite another story (that will never be told)..... You cheered up my Monday working from home office in January with Bringing back some wonderful memories though...

keith1948 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 But who has the car now because it is still on the road? And what happened to the couple who were driving it then in the 1950's/60's? Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 No idea on either... Perhaps the current custodian will be along on here shortly? If you really want to find out the original couple then the Cameron family would be the best place to begin... The film is pretty clearly a subtle (albeit maybe not by 1950’s standards?) piece of well made marketing to showcase what the region had to offer and the families- well earned - standing in the community with the hotel and associated activities firmly at the centre. The couple in the car would undoubtedly have been very well ‘connected’ and well to do...... you’ll enjoy working it all out?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 It is quite likely, considering the film quality (expense), that the couple were in fact actor/actress. It must have cost a pretty penny in film/processing alone. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith1948 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 As for the car it was once owned by a James Inder in 2007 if you search on t’internet for reg number and TRDC. It comes up with a report on Register website. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think he may be a Coventry group member. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The couple are just too ‘comfortable’ in the car.. eg the lady knows exactly when and where to hang on.... and how to open the door getting out! etc Knowing a bit about the family and therefore, with the utmost respect....... They NEVER would have considered paying actors when they could get the real deal for free! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
