TV sequences by Border Television in 1993  and ITV "Lookaround" news tributes have often appeared on anniversaries, this one being 30 years since Jim won his first F1 World Championship. I have one from 2008 and fully expect to see coverage of the 50 year anniversary in April 2018.

Building Ingliston: Cine film about 9 mins long showing the construction and some spirited motor cycle, sports car, saloon car and racing car testing. Perhaps made by the same Cine Group below. This film is not commercially available therefore I can only add at a later date what I believe I can see.

Just what it says, about 20 mins long.  This film is not commercially available therefore I can only add at a later date what I believe I can see.

The Dales Diary with Luke Casey is I believe Part 2 of the 2007 Series 16 Program 3. Describes how Jim became part of the Border Reivers team and went on to be world champion. Ian Scott-Watson is interviewed and photographer Eric Bryce is credited at the end of the film which is around 8 minutes long.

This 1963 film shows motor racing legend Jim Clark giving the new Ford Consul Corsair a thorough appraisal on the test track. He puts the car through its paces on tarmac, "rough going" and pave, and is impressed with the results. As he says, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". YouTube LINK
