Some new footage of HUE 166, with extensive feature on HNX 331 (pre-production example #16) including dismantling some bodywork to show the oily bits clanking together. Plus lots of archive shots of early Landies conquering the world. Worth looking out for - BBC iplayer, and probably on DVD in near future.
