For a couple of minutes indulgence try this link:

Glorious footage of Chapman, flying his plane, in the office and on the factory floor. Ends up with an Elan, +2 and Europa driving on the circuit.

Pure nostalgia!

Tim,

Brilliant find. Loads of clips from my favourite era. Amazing how Sivlerstone looks like a field!
There's hours of viewing here.

Regards,

Hamish.
