Mark spotted out testing his latest Hillclimber! I bet it's quick with those GT wheel trims on.

Keep Britain Tidy campaign. 1972

The first 1972 cinema film of Steptoe and Son is currently showing from time to time on the Talking Pictures TV channel, I remember seeing it at the cinema, it was quite a novelty back than to see films based on popular b&w TV series appear on the big screen in colour! (eg. Thunderbirds, Dr Who & the Daleks, On the Buses, etc).
Steptoe & Son Talking Pictures TV Sky 328, Freesat 81, Virgin 445 and Freesat 306:-

I think one of them is John Cooper's wife.

Always nice to see those Goodwood pics, especially in colour ;)
