I note in the comments there is a mention of Stirling having driven one, but not saying this was a video of Stirling at the wheel.

Great video anyway, regardless of who and when. The sound was good enough on its own.

Edit: Just noticed the poster / uploader on youtube goes by the name of "FollyFilms"
I would agree with all of that, & also Viva's comments about road signs - certainly a 'SLOW' painted on the road looked a bit modern for 1953. Also, he seemed to spend most of the time on the wrong side of the road - surely a bit risky should a 1953 Ford Popular come tottering the other way?

Sorry to burst your bubble, Baubel! The soundtrack was good though...
