What a great footage!

Oh yeah! The good old days, when rallcars looked remotely like something you could buy, and not just a jellymould Fiesta or a hideous "MINI". Reminds me why I have no interest in modern rallying, the cars look pants in comparison, stationary or in motion.

Hi Lee - think the same about modern versus 'classic' rally cars.
Just got back from Roger Albert Clark Rally myself (Kall Kwik, two day event) as co-driver in a BMW.
The RAC Historic section is just so much better to watch and listen too.

More power than grip, only two wheel drive, that is what is needed...

I liked the Michelle Mouton bit at the end. What a woman! ;-)

I got this for my birthday last year - wonderful nostalgia. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manx-Rallies-1980s-DVD/dp/...

Did Jim Rosenthal coin the phrase 'keeping it on the island'?

If it wasn't who did?
