John, there's loads of classic motorsport all over the internet. Have a look at this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PExBCwPrFpE
It's the 1958 Coupes des Alpes. The white Riley 1.5 - driven by Bill Meredith-Owen - did very well, coming 14th overall and 2nd in class; pretty impressive for a private entry. |

Hi,Thanks for that. I went from racing to rallying to speed hill climb & sprints so quite a broad church - also a sign of ageing. I have looked at some of the stuff on utube mainly of people I know but will have a look at the link you kindly supplied. Kind regards,JD.

Absolutely brilliant - really lifted my day & brought back lots of memories.
Great to see the brits & their cars holding their own, especially the ones that were the every day models(even though they were breathed on).
Thanks riley541, cheers,JD

There's plenty of BMC content to keep the Austin and Morris fans interested too.
