I knew Chris ~ 35 yrs ago when he was at Lynx Engineering & I was heavily involved in Jaguars - good to see he's lightened up a bit since those days !

Nice video, he is certainly doing things right!

Always amazes me how much money is in these cars, and how many there are!

Talking of Jaguars, there’s still an opportunity to go to Jaguar Classic in Coventry if anyone’s still up for it?

Better get in quick. They put some whack-job in charge whose strategy is to stop selling cars for 12 months, presumably so buyers can forget the badge engineered Mundanos ever happened, before betting the farm on high-end electrics just as everyone's losing interest. Bentley must be quaking in their boots...

A very very busy saloon car race at Crystal Palace, 1971. Murray Walker adding the commentary!

Awesome race

Fantastic circuit that - I won a cycle race there in the early 80s which used the remaining sections under the trees after the start / finish line - tight, twisty and undulating- narrower in parts than it looks. Must have been fabulous to race a car there when the full circuit existed.

I think they do the odd sprint event there - one for the bucket list

A few years back there was a sprint there, not sure now. Noise may have finished it off, not sure.

My Scottish class mate/rival Dave Seaton is/was the record holder for over 2 litre Sports Libre and he raved about it saying the many miles journey was well worth it. That was in his old Pilbeam/ BMW V8.

I used to watch those circuit races on Saturday afternoons way back, great races and Walker just added so much into it too.
Lots of Rally-Cross meetings also televised.
