@ BestCanKeanRob2. Hei! Back in the day we only raced terminally rusty Jags. Any that were salvageable we restored and exported to Paris. They made the best money over there ! The rest were stripped of any useful spares and then raced. The engine in the winning car here was transplanted into my mechanics car and eventually exported. 100% recycled. Nothing was wasted in those days!!! Cheers/Skål, Jagmanchris211.
This is the way it should be. Trying to get to the finish instead of driving full speed into a competitor. And next time they can use the same car, after some repairs.
This was either 1975 or 1976 as chris medler was world champion two years running.You have to remember that most of these cars were given away as petrol hungry cars in the mid 70's went out of fashion.Example...My dad had a choice at a car showroom between an e type jag and a lotus elan both for sale at the same price.Petrol hungry cars wernt wanted anymore you couldn't give them away.Of course if you had them now it's a different story but this race was in the seventys..
I'm from Poland and back in 80's cars like 126p and 125p were luxurious goods here (and considered cheap scrap in the UK even when new) and back in 70's you were destroying REAL luxurious cars, that's sad nowadays ppl seek for socialism/communism ;)
The late great start marshal Ted weaver.he used be in the start car and then run across the track and get in the start box.A true entertainer.RIP Ted I thought you was great when I was a kid.
@@NemesisGrowz Erm tbh i dont think he was,ray wood i think was shorter,Ray wood continued on when ted stopped,although spedeworth had another too,but im not sure his name.I was a kid,so ted could of been quiet short i guess.Regards.
chris medler lived in cheam remember last race ever saw him race he had a ford anglia he got taken out very badly rolled over we thought he was badly hurt he was ok after they stopped the race . his gf gave him a bit hug after he exited the over turned car . he was a great world champion
think on the same bill at this meeting was van bangers dave melboure jag hit 74 chris colliver senior ford transit hard in the DD HIS FRONT WHEELS were in the back of it

Using Mk2 Jags for banger racing... Expensive to say the least, not to mention diabolical.
Good old Jaguars. Weight at the front, power at the back. And now a wet track and likely bald tyres too!
"Seems shame if you think how beautiful car was it in its day"
I Wonder how many of Them Classic Jags could of been put back in The rd?... shame to See Them get smashed up like that
Birol Djoshan nearly all them jags could have been put back on the road with a bit of tlc! What would they be worth now!!
All of them would go again today!
It's like an episode of the Sweeney
