Thatched Car Aka Thatched Roof For Austin Car (1950)

Berwick, Sussex. Various C/Us show a man working on a thatched roof. When he stands down we see he has successfully thatched the roof of an old Austin car dating from 1929. The car belongs to an American artist called Clark Fay. He looks satisfied with the thatching. He and some friends get into the car and drive through the countryside. From the other side of a high hedge it looks like a small house is being driven along the road. A man gardening (in a suit) looks up in disbelief. The car pulls up in a village.
