The Early Days of Motoring, 1900-1905

Performed a lot of corrections on each shot independently to restore the picture quality, having originally been on paper the source footage had all sorts of staining, spotting, and wildly varying exposure.

Musical soundtrack is music from 1908-1910, I had wanted to use proper period music for each shot but the fidelity on the earlier recordings were too low to be usable.
