Great film with dubious comedy narration.
Been lucky enough to race my Elan at Castle Combe, Mallory and Brands this year

You’re a lucky man, I loved the variety of Lotus, 7, 11, Shapecraft Elan was a surprise as was the costin nose on another Elan.

The blue Shapecraft at Oulton Park, at 3.40 minutes, is the Dick Crosfield 26R now being raced by Robin Ellis.
The white Shapecraft at Cadwell Park at approx 7 minutes is the first Shapecraft which had the extended 'Costin' front shown after expiring at 8 minutes.

Great film. Couldn't quite believe the Triumph Spitfire towing the Mini on a very dodgy looking two-wheel trailer, right at the end, after the credits.........
