Since its launch at the beginning of April, auto-history.tv has attracted considerable interest from across the globe by allowing car enthusiasts everywhere to watch a fascinating collection of motoring history films at full-screen resolution and then create their own personal motoring history film archive.

Bespoke DVD

Not only can the films be downloaded 24 hours a day, but all the films can now also be placed onto a personalised DVD. This means anyone can individually select exactly the films of interest to themselves and then request these films be placed onto a DVD disc which will then be delivered directly to them by mail.

Entire archive

For the truly serious car enthusiast or motoring historian, all the films can also be purchased as one entire film archive on a smart, portable, external computer hard-drive for the specially discounted price of only £199, which also includes a number of useful, additional extras.

In total, the full collection of films present a unique and comprehensive snapshot of motoring and social history from around the world by showing how the motor car evolved from the horseless carriage of the 1890s, primarily aimed at the wealthy and adventurous, into the essential means of transport it became for the entire industrialised world by the end of the 20th Century.
