    The video cameras and all their associated gear were so large in those days they couldn't get them in the cars.

    Great video that. I would guess those mk2 escort were still production cars when the video was shot. Does anyone know which track this was????

      Tony would have ragged the hell out of a hot rod

    Used go to the stock cars in New Brighton in the 70's. They didn't call them hot rods! Was that Tony Bastable moonlighting as a driver camouflaging his voice. Barry Lee .. I remember him, Belle Vue perhaps.

      Escort mk2 Could only be 2 years old at the Max in 1976

    • @Thecrazyvaclav
      @Thecrazyvaclav Před 4 lety +4

      Graham Stanton yea,but still could be a rusty heap by then,all cars rusted quick in the 70s,not just the BL stuff

    • @joolsfreeman4359
      @joolsfreeman4359 Před 4 lety

      I used to to scrap cars in the 90,s weighed in loads of escorts, transits, cortinas, mk1 and 2 granadas, they were everywhere around then 2 a penny almost, who knew what silly money people pay now for crapped out old bodyshells!

    • @glpilpi6209
      @glpilpi6209 Před 4 lety

      The Mark 2 Escort would not have rusted away inside 14 months , it was probably built from an accident write off shell or possibly a new blank shell bought off Ford.
