Marvellous! I love the understeer on the Dellow, and the idiot going the wrong way round the cone only t demolish the side barrier :-)

The blurb underneath...

"a pair of vintage sports cars (one driven by a woman)"

A woman! Scoff! How un lady like! It was obvious she was going to get it wrong! ha ha!

Check out the closeups of those tortured front tyres. Sooo much positive camber under heavy turning. Crazy.

Malcolm The two car you refer are Dellows, more suited to Production Car Trials than Autotesting..

Great bit of footage though. That poor TR getting used and abused by all and sundry... :-)

standard production saloons made me laugh as did the chap who put his arm in the air then messed up slightly

and yes I'd struggle with a course as simple as that too I'd have probably hit the people too

TRs seemed heavy and slow without the comedic value of the other

Seeing the A40 in that reminds me of my first Autotest in one at Wethersfield airbase.

Great footage, thanks!

Great stuff!
