Very good. Oh to have been standing there to catch all those A7 parts that were being thrown away in that film clip!

Re: British Pathe film

Over the decades I have expensively learned not to go within a metre of any old car if in reasonable clothes. So the dress surprising. A sports coat in 1958 probably cost a fair proportion of L11.

The car was obviously pre prepared with the cowhorn bolts, radiator etc undone, although there have been cars on the Forum which could likely have been pulled apart.
Have watched carefully but cannot decide if bonnet hinge loop at front or rear. Possibly at front and bonnet already out of.

An earlier reference to the sequence notes that one of the lads, Laurie Falcon, is designer of the special. Anyone know his subsequent career?
