For a couple of years used to watch the RAC when the cars went through Hilton, saw Michelle Moulton in her works Audi Quattro amongst others.


Privateer in an Ascona 400.

Back in the good old days.

Sounds like a great area to get photos

An early TVR from the early 1960's I think. They seemed wider than they were long!
