Those were the days. When F1 teams could experiment and innovate. Now they just advertise.  :(

Almost brought a tear to the eye.memories of the good old days,before big business and talent levelling electronics invaded motorsport.
I had a guided tour of the station works Shepreth in 1980. Every DTV car came out of there,its hard to believe now that a workshop in a redundant old railway station built up the reputation and motorsport heritage that vx has had since the 70,s. Bill Blydenstien was an old fashioned engineering genius.

I started work in 77 and worked Saturday mornings and used to rush home the record the rallying  World of Sport.

Got quite a few videos of big horse poser days of the Quatro, Lancia Rally, 6r4, Ascona 400, Chevette HS/HSR, TRV8 , Lotus Sunbeam and even a BMW M1SE

Those were the motorsport days I enjoyed the most.  Still have the tapes, sadly one of them is stuck in a Dead VHS machine, but I am adamant the tape is comeing out in one piece. :-/
