I just wanted to let you know that I have negotiated a 24 minute version of my 'Grand Prix Icon : Lotus 72' video to air on Motors TV across Europe in December. When I get some more specific details I'll let you know. The programme features newly-shot interviews with John Miles, Emerson Fittipaldi and the late Peter Warr and is introducued by motor racing historian Michael Oliver. It also features a host of previously un-published photographs and un-seen movie film. Don't forget to bookmark the website ; www.lotus72dvd.com

I'd very much like to see this, please keep us updated.
Talking of Michael Oliver, it just reminded me to buy his Tales from the Toolbox book which I've just ordered this evening.

Mike has also written 'the' books on both the Lotus 49 and the 72.

Have heard today that the first transmission of the programme will be at 13.10 on Tuesday the 27th of November.
It will be repeated at 19:25 the same day, then at 23:05 on the 29th and also at 20.30 on Friday 30th November.
It will probably get more repeats through December.
All the best.
