| Description: | GAZETTE "London. Miniature Motoring. A real 'baby' car - all-British - makes its debut on London streets." London. Three men look over a miniature car - it is 1/2 a meter high. One of the men, perhaps the designer, describes its features. CU of wheels and engines and breaks. One of the men gives the car a go - we see him driving in traffic. Two of the men discuss using it in traffic. One suggests trying Piccadilly. Shots of the miniature car being driven in heavy traffic in Piccadilly Circus. The inventor follows behind, jogging a bit to keep up with his miniature auto. It seems to be smoking a bit. The whole thing is a little funny. | |
