Bit of Old Cine Footage From Brands 1969

Post by surfblue63 »

Whilst trawling the web for pictures of Brands in 1969, see the Mk2 Photo thread, I found this. Looks like a Clubmans meeting to me. Lots of slipping and sliding at Druids in the rain.

Hey Stuart.
That's a good find.
I am pretty damn sure that in the first bunch of Minis the car No48 is me !!
I had a Sherewood Green car with a Dayglow yellow roof.
Cheers

No I don't recognise anyone .I have also asked Bob Fox and he does not know eother.
They are not Mini 7 cars from the sixties.
They must be all free Formulae cars.

I reckon so, but not 100% sure.
Another giveaway from my side was the white diamond on the bonnet for the numbers which I have always had.
Did you have a diamond??
Regards
