Mainly motorbikes of various guises, I'm sure it's a Bentley with the strange external roll cage in the stock car sequence from Odsal, and the double front wheeler at the end of the Banbury Classic Run is interesting. I Policed Coverdale and later the Wharfedale areas shown in the Alan Jefferies Trial, but not in 1955!

We used to go to Scarborough for our family holidays. It didn't coincide with any of the Olivers Mount events though IIRC. In fact, I see the racing still takes place there which I'm pleased to see.

That is a cracking period-piece of film at Olivers Mount (11.05), all those wonderful old liveried motor-trade vehicles. Beautiful piece of footage.

My sister lives there now, I should maybe look to seeing one of the events at some point. Perhaps they do a classic event.
