Vauxhall Film Library - This one was fun - Avon Motor Tour of Britain 1974

A short film about all the entrants into the Avon Motor Tour of Britain 1974, although it is a Vauxhall produced film it does not just focus on the Magnum & Firenza entrants.
With thanks to John Kyros at GM Media Archive for finding it.

Thanks for uploading. The Vauxhall Firenza/Magnums were such pretty cars and they looked quite grounded on the grass stages.
James Hunt partnered Noel Edmonds one year and they apparently argued the whole way. Needless to say, the disc jockey came off worse.
Would have loved to have seen Hunt interview Gerry Marshall.

I was there ha, ha. Used to live about five miles from Mallory Park..Really was an exciting event. Huge Dolly Sprint fan. Also Will Sparrow from his Mini exploits.

What is the name of the Escort driver at 26:53? He did drive one of the Shell Sport Mexico Cup cars, didn't he? XNO 276L I reckon? Allen Mussard or something?

The escort crew were Robert James +Brian Tilley , even with the damage, they finished 34th, those escorts were made of stronger stuff!
