Film of the 1982 Austin 7 Diamond Jubilee Top Gear Rally - Nick Salmon - 04-02-2024
Some super footage in this programme.
This was originally found by Scott Mawby, who posted it on Facebook.
Chris Garner suggested having it here as well, so here is the link. The A7 footage comes at the beginning and the end of the programme.
Chris tells me he fleetingly appears at around 29 minutes in, facing away from the camera.
I wish I had been there!

Thansk you for the link. What a lovely report by William Wollard - and such a contrast to the Clarkson era!

Well that was a fun watch.
I remember seeing Stanley Edge at the Longbridge Rally in 1982.

A very youthful student me is there in the background with my Nippy as the GE and others drive past about 25 mins onwards.
That's Phil Bullers striking poses against my car, we were in the East Mids University Air Squadron together.
