OK, I have now uploaded my footage from the De Tomaso Drivers Club supecar test day at Goodwood.
Please dont ask why I haven't got any track footage of the Countaches - I'm sure Mike's LP400S1 must have gone on track at some point at least!

Anyway, hope you like it and for many, I hope it brings back some good memories.

I've now also uploaded my own camcorder footage from the 1992 Silverstone Coys Historic festival. Good event this as it was a big Ferrari celebration with some amazing motors including GTOs, LMs, Californias etc.
Also a strong turnout of Lamborghinis.

Enjoy

I love the Hillman Imp in the background!

Thanks for those vids, much appreciated. Remember those cars at Coys well, still a car event then and not the family/lifestyle type thing all the rage now. I miss the 90s!

With apologies for the image quality, here are a few scans from Goodwood in 1985 and 1986.

Well that brightened up a drab Saturday afternoon !!. Thanks for the photos lads.......The speakers in the Tahiti blue lp400 were fitted when new along with the blaupunkt radio which I remember being on a type of flexible stalk. I don't know how/why, the original reg changed from JYH928N, to the LGF 849N number, but the current colour of orange was a mistake changing it from blue personally speaking. Bob the cop, did you deliver this aswell ?? The original owner swapped it for a yellow silhouette through maltin car concessionaires in 1977, which was used very little like the lp 400. At least I had the pleasure of 10 miles in it !!

Del Hopkins told me that they never came originally with white wheels - so I changed mine back to silver.

The walk up to the tube after dropping off with Del at Portman Ealing and going to the Pullicinos and being told that every car was perfect - what memories!

Great to see these photos.

Wow! That is awesome! Tough week of work then this is great. Keep the photos coming. I asked John Collins of Talacrest which Countach that is, but he couldn’t recall.

Amazing. I know I was there that day, and I have my own photos of the Miura/Countach line-up in the background, but I swear I never saw this blue Anni.

I was also there - I’ve been checking to see if I can spot a younger me in the background of these photos.
