It sounds like they took the footage from the old Rootes promotional film
"Special Section". I've got a copy on videotape. This film and many others
have been transferred onto videotape by the Association of Rootes Car Clubs
in the UK and are available for sale. The only problem for you North
Americans is I think you use a different video format to us.
Maybe one of the larger US clubs could negotiate with the ARCC to convert
and distribute the films?
