Here is a brief clip of Jack Johnson when he visited London in 1910.
He is sitting in backseat of the car.
Look at those old Double-Decker London bus's of 100 years ago.

Very interesting to see how busy it was back then, nothing much has changed except the traffic was moving more quickly in 1910...

Double deckers are the norm in England.

Talented heavyweights are not.

Can anyone identify the make of the car that Jack Johnson is riding in?
The top lists it as 1910,but if you look in the corner it says 1910-1919.
Jack Johnson was also in London in 1914 and im sure other years.
It would be nice to accurateley date this film clip if it isnt from 1910 that is
