Yes it is a great race, brings back memories of watching Gerry Marshall in the 1970's. It is a shame the BBC won't release the higher quality original recordings from their vaults. I know someone who works in TV and often visited the BBC film archives during research and said there are loads of club motorsport films from Saturday Grandstand that have never been shown since they were broadcast. They did manage to make a copy of a 1970's race which is now on youtube and I've posted on the Mk1 forum.....
