And to think in 1963 I was delivering Motoring News to a mechanic member of the Ford team at Boreham as a paper boy. He had so many stories and was a good Christmas tipper!

1st win for a Cooper S and I think first rally. Interesting the bolted on plates over the core plugs on the S engine being fitted with the cam shaft. Like most British films of the period, dreadful music on the sound track.
