This was before most advertising was allowed. The only things allowed then were the name the entrant and the names of the crew.surfblue63 wrote:By the way NRCC "A" on the side of the car is because they were part of the Northern Rally Competitors' Club A team.
I assume NRCC was the entrant and the club held one entrants licence in that name (as did our club for our 3 entries). Adding the "A" was not strictly permissible, even though it was part of a club team entry.

Mate Bob Needham doing a ‘marshals recce’ of the Langdale stage of the
1977 RAC for Sheffield and Hallamshire MC.
The then near new Russet brown GT apparently handled like a
‘leopard in a swamp’ on it’s rock hard Denovo’s

In the first ever episode (Ringer) of the Sweeney Regan borrows his birds motor which gets nicked when he's on the dog and bone. Its an early Mk2 1000.
