Great video

I was looking for you Darren, you seem to have been at every meeting there

[Bebee]

Great find, love period film of race track and cars.

Ah, when men were men.
Or, to put it another way; HANS, knees and whoops-a-daisy.
What wonderful launch-pads those mud banks made.
Lovely trees:
And a Raymond Baxter commentary as well.
Great days.
(And no, I wasn't there.)

Anyone guess the camera car with a plastic screen on the bonnet? Rover P5? or P4

Im with you on the Rover but it's too early for P5 ,im thinking '50/'51 P4 75 Cyclops due to bonnet line and absence of wing top mounted side lights ... must admit though, that that rather short bonnet chrome is causing me some concern.

Darren. Your new anorak will be delivered to you, gift-wrapped, at Rockingham. Brilliant!
