(x) indicates films held by Chris McGovern that have been transferred to video (VHS + Umatic). Any person who has details of other films made by the Rootes Group please inform me. It is noticable the Alpines at Sebring are not listed, a film would have been made it was Rootes Policy, so by who and what is the title. The list will be updated as more information becomes available. The dates shown are the dates the film was registered at the BFI, London and may not be the same as the year of the event.
