Ten dollars per person, that's a little steep.

I wonder if they had to actually pay the $10 to attend!

Someone posted this on FB, a colourised version of the pic. Taken in Hornsey in 1958 next to Stan Chapman's pub, in front of the station platforms. 

Of these people, only Mike Costin is still alive.  (I believe he was flying his glider this weekend.  You can't keep a good man down.)

That's proper Lotus in the Peak! 😎

I love watching clips of present day events like that. Often the light cars like Morgans and 7s do very well, and some drivers really know how to get the most out of it!

Loads of period pictures I'd not seen before.

Looks like one of the twin wheeled Tyrrells on the back.

I recently collected a car from The Tyrrell Buildings in Surrey where Ken Tyrrell's original workshop/shed still sits. Shortly to be relocated to Goodwood Motor Circuit I believe.

A younger me captured on film circa 1990.  

Image was taken by Duncan Wherret for his Osprey book on the Elan.  He was lying by the side of the road less than 6ft from the car !  Brave (or foolish) chap.
