Nice find Smoke, super excellent. But BLIMEY, talk about overdoing the Welsh harp. :shock: :D

The 1972 RAC video is excellent too.

Found a good selection of photos of cars from the 1974 RAC Rally here, quite interesting, even a Lada 1500, and good info of them at the links,

Great stuff, makes you realise how good the Mini drivers needed to be by this stage, Escorts were definately superior by then :cry:

Liked reel 3 of 3 best, some famous cars, 3000KV, and a mini van at 4:15 :shock:

Thanks Smoke! :ugeek:

Makes you realise how the present Wales Rally GB is a pale shadow of what was the Welsh never mind the RAC (NOT the Roger Albert)

3000KV was the CCC car wasn't it. Nice pics to of the Imp. Shame that the Mini was about to be eaten (beaten) by the might of Ford. Such is progress.
