Vita Minis (and more) on Youtube.

Post by tweedy998 »

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I really enjoyed this footage from the 1964 season with the Vita Mini's which Pete has uploaded to Youtube:

A wonderful nostalgic look back at some fabulous bygone times.

Thanks, that was originally uploaded about 15 years ago but then got deleted so I’ve redone it and hope to convert a few more reels of Harry Ratcliffe’s Super 8 footage soon. I’ve no idea what’s on the rest, usually his holidays and his sailing but hopefully more racing!!

Me and Simon Goodliff took the Buick back to the exact same spot for a photoshoot last year, hope to write that article up soon.

I look forward to seeing some more uploads from the Ratcliffe back catalogue, such a character.

The BRT Cooper-Buick is such a crazy car, I'll keep my eyes peeled for your article with Simon, sounds like a cracking day out Pete! :)
