You can thank Leonard Lord for that. Losing £20 per Mini was an extremely bad business decision that can only realistically be seen as self sabotage, for what reason I have no idea. If they had sold the Mini for £1,380 instead of £1,340 BMC would probably still be a thing.
Does anyone know if this film was played on the British TV channel/channals before the official program started to for the day?,( I think it was broadcast to let technicians adjust the pictures/sound on televisions they were servicing). Anyone remember this as true?.
Superb footage. The joy of the roar from a naturally aspirated engine and those fast double de-clutching gear changes…
great old film footage. the narration is classic.
This is so much cooler then the current Monte Carlo rally
Fabuleux document !! Merci. Une autre époque....
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. This is what I call rallying. Production automobiles tuned and raced. Very very cool.

Awesome footage
Those mountain roads...the black ice must have been a terror as those old cars fish-tailed all over the place.
So cool to see this! Sadly hard to find footage from the 50s-60s nowadays.
This is just beautiful
thank you guys for sharing all that.

Those were the days when we had our own industry owned by British corporations.

Also, using "Unions to fight unions" was an extremely foolish strategy
I think you meant the Road to Eldorado. haha. Great video by the way.
