Words fail me! I can certainly see the attraction in it but........THAT much!

1960's stuff now tailing off, this is proved by race entries................

1970's and 80's on the climb...........

Simple answer, people born in the 60's ( like me) remember the 1275 GT Championship and Clubmans running in the RAC rally.

Sign of the times I'm afraid

Inclined to agree. Look at 70’s and 80’s stuff. All on the rise. Metros, Ford XR/RS and Japanese stuff. You’re all getting old. (Obvs I’m not )
