Disappointed that British Leyland didn't enter. Imagine an Austin Allegro Group B turbo with added nitrous! Or a supercharged Riley Elf kitted out in full Dakar spec. Luxury!
@@AdamTheMan1993 Yes Leyland were not that bad. I just could not resist a cheap shot The demise of our car industry is very sad indeed. I am old enought to remember when the vast majority of cars on the road were British made and designed. It is a great shame.
I'd rather do without an unscheduled rapid disassembly thanks (and that would be a risk for any 1970s engine with twin charging in competition over long distance)
Would much prefer this sort of racing to Formula 1 any day of the week. Does any rallying tv coverage still exist ? Remembering some of those names of the drivers from Grandstand
Great stuff from the archives in amazing quality, it's surprising how good those old footages look when digitized properly
Brilliant clip - loved the humour - thank you
Never to be repeated.
DS!
Fantastic journalism

British Leyland? This was a car rally not a walking tour.
@@stephenspence1192 Funny that the first ever winner of the Dakar rally was a British Leyland Range Rover

Yes, but it's worth ten.
All right, all right.
No, no, no, no.
It's not worth ten.
You're supposed to argue.
"Ten for that? You must be mad."

Matt Berry really sounds like he has pulled inspiration from the gent presenting this video.
A lot of BBC presenters talked like this in those days. It was just the style!
Oh man, I would have done this gladly back then.
The reporter does nothing but whinge about the food and heat and salesmen haha.
(British humor?)
Yes.
@@wills2552 Nice
I’m not sure, I’m British but he seems like just a miserable prick…
presenter has such an irritating accent.
