Historic Archive Autocross video 1970's

This historic rallycross film was originally done for Duckham Oils by my Father, Colin Taylor. Not the best quality but worth a watch - enjoy

[@daleskidmore1685]

There were people wearing Borough 19 tabbards, so it must be around the Kent area. The end credits list the clubs.

[@eddiejones.redvees]

I can remember when travelling on a motorway looked like that but most cars back then would struggle to keep going all day at 70mph my 1.6 diesel Astra has no trouble it is just going at 200.100 rpm at 70mph in sixth but the best thing is that it is done 80 mpg

[@NicholasRumney]

I remember Don Gilhams supercharged mini I'm sure

[@nearlythere9443]

Those were the days!

[@timtrial3971]

the cameraman has an eye for the lasses

[@Malibu1515]

Wow. You Brits used to call Rallycross Autocross. Also Autocrosses are very different events here in America.

[@ElTio.45-70]

Britons have probably invented about 85% of different forms of motorsports.
