Great to see the Rover in action.My ex boss,Arthur Carter bought the car through Gerry Marshal,was in fair condition but not good enough for Arthur's huge collection.So I started removing every panel and restored the complete car.Made new alloy front splitters as they were non existing,wings were a little cracked in places but being Glass were an easy fix.Rick Halm and Rob Fowler came over to check out the engine which turned out to be in great condition. Tyres were 11inch wide slicks ,about ten years old.Slightly damp road and the car proved to be quite a handful but at the same time,very forgiving😃

This is an incredible video, one of the best things I've seen posted on youTube. The Guards Trophy Formula 5000 meeting was held on 9th August that year and the event was won by Aussie legend Frank Gardner in a Lola T190. Aside from Roger Williamson's appearance in his venerable Anglia, there were also several contemporary Grand Prix drivers in the F5000 field that day including Peter Gethin who finished second here and went on to win the Italian GP at Monza the following September.

@2000gpg My brother raced minis in the 60's and would take his engine from Lundie in Angus down to Richard Longman's to be tuned. Over 1,000 mile round trip! His name is Jim Dryden. He is 76 soon!

No, I wish I had been. Jochen was one of my heroes together with Siffert, Peterson, Rodrigues, Stewart, Cevert and on and on. It must have been a thrill to meet him.

Thanks Davy, were you there? As you can see at the begining of the film I've still got the programme. I lived in Italy at the time so there's very little from the UK. I'm putting the films year by year and there are some others from Oulton Park, Brands, Silverstone, Mallory and the very last meeting of modern machinery at Crystal Palace. Keep looking!

When Roy first raced it here at the Nordschleife(now my work and home) The Rover was so fast it had just over a minutes lead over the field.Officials were quite worried when it crossed the line at the end of the first lap,they thought there must have been a big shunt that had closed the track😀

@l176bx That's right. The last race I filmed without sound then managed to sort out a tape recorder...See all the ones following this.
