But it looked strangely familiar from additional comments here - /vehicle.php?id=845872 - which reuses footage from 8-minute 1969 British Transport Films "Motorsport Tries Motorail" feature - "the London & Torbay Motor Clubs compete for the 'Motorail Trophy' over 4-5 May 1968. The London club members are filmed travelling with their cars by train down to Newton Abbott, and competing against the Torbay club members ...." - from Link to "autoshite.com" some way down the page ... -- Last edit: 2017-07-03 23:56:12 |

Issued Buckinghamshire, April 1967. Probably died before DVLA went computerised in 1980s |

What are trial competitions for cars? Gymkhana only? Something else? |

Gymkhana probably a good equivalent. Two types - first is shooting up very muddy tracks on hills as quickly as possible with penalty points for stopping/stalling/sliding backwards (eg see some of the entries at /movie.php?id=1004516485 ) while the second is driving round obstacle course on tarmac with reversing, J-turns, tight corners, weaving in and out of bollards and cones etc. So something short with 4-wheel steering like this is - or should be - ideal. Both were popular 1950s things when petrol was rationed so baby cars with baby engines were popular low-speed fun. |

See PostwarClassic website, yesterday's article describes the bits that went into this car and there is a short film of it in action, from the Pathé news item, presumably. http://www.prewarcar.com/postwarclassic/ -- Last edit: 2017-07-20 09:22:38 |
