I think thats the only video where you can see how a Model 70 will oversteer (at 1:49) if you push one too far rather then fall over like most people think they will, also worth noting that those are Mark As on 12 inch wheels, I imagine a Mark B on its wider 10 inch wheels would handle even better

(sadly its not the best footage in the world but there are not really that many videos of someone pushing a Model 70 to its limits! I would like to find that 1970s invacar video in full)

I watched Red Sea Diving Resort on Netflix last night. A good film and also rammed with 70s cars.

1970's car chases are very hard to beat

 

I'm sure that peppermint green 2.0S turns up in various TV shows in the late 70s

Law and order

Target

Here it is in the September 1977 CAR magazine being tested

Also remember years ago seeing a TV film where a similar one is being used after being stolen, driver skids it into a kerb at one point. Strange what sticks in your mind.

This is oddly compelling.

And this - great!

Check out this guy in a Challenger Hellcat passing all the 65mph traffic. Go Kowalski !!!

Hope he had a full tank of gas.

[bunglebus]

Did his Challenger turn into a Camaro moments before it crashed though?

There's a bit of old chod lurking in the background, but mostly I just like this as it makes me nostalgic for a time I never saw. Things just seemed simpler and more honest, no brand name clothing, kids playing outside and reality tv would have been David Attenborough in the Galapagos Islands.

The 60s Technicolour always looks great too.

I'd love to know what happened to Barry Lee's MK2  - it was a really early car, 1st used by Ford to break MPG records so was already much lighter than a standard two-door.

Does Jay Leno have the best private car collection....in the world? Possibly.

A fantastic car which his team have done some great work on too. He does have a serious commitment to restorations.

I can't find this posted anywhere around here and it is possible that someone who is interested in that sort of thing may not have seen it already. In '73 Louis Malle made a mostly silent documentary about a Citroen assembly plant. The film, Humain, trop humain, is 72 minutes of car manufacture and is worth a watch. It was available on Curzon a while back but it isn't now so here it is broken up into bits and in crappy quality. But, hey, Citroen GS!
