This had to be in my dream garage, together with a Sprint, and a Coachbuilt Hatchback

This footage is of 88D the GTS, it was originally a news feature for ATV.
I heard about it several years ago from ex Broadspeed employees but was unable to find it until recently - thanks Simon776.
The most interesting thing to me is it shows previously unseen interior & under bonnet shots of 88D.
The bulkhead on the car has always been a mystery since I bought it ,not knowing if the mods were done by Broadspeed or later by one of the Dutch owners
But this footage now confirms the mods were done by Broadspeed!!!!
Hope to be applying to DVLA for it's number back v.soon & then the rebuild can start

Hi Chris
I have finaly got a copy of Bilsport nr 5-1966.
There is a 2 page article of a test drive.
The car is FOH500D. Is that car known to you?
I will scan the article and send it to you.
Peter

I've got a Broadspeed add when they sold a Broadspeed Works GTS. Let me know if you don't have it and I'll dig it out.
