The 78th Members’ Meeting is fast approaching, and we’re preparing ourselves for an action-packed racing weekend. Something we’re particularly looking forward to is the new Rally Sprint, upon which cars from various eras will feature.

Presented by William Woollard (no one has ever been able to lean on a car with quite such style), with commentary by Barrie Gill and Tony Mason, the grainy footage was originally broadcast live from Badminton as part of the BBC Rally Report '86. It has since been converted from video and uploaded to YouTube earlier this year.
