Title: More ITN hotrod film footage. Post by: Manky Monkey on October 08, 2006, 08:35:52 AM I was searching the 'net for film posters & came across this.
A piece on the old "Opus" kit cars of the late 60s. The narrator says kits are available from 2 -300 quid, but the original catalogue says the cheapest version was a staggering 90 quid! Looks like Longleat house in the background. Can anyone identify the engine used in the finished jalopy? http://www.itnsource.com/Search/Shotlist/?Ref=/Bpathe/1967/02/09/BP09026740112.htm&links=HOTROD%2cFILM Title: Re: More ITN hotrod film footage.

Looks like a pre x flow ford lump Title: Re: More ITN hotrod film footage. Post by: Manky Monkey on October 09, 2006, 08:00:30 PM Can't remember who used to make Opuses. Jago maybe?
Love those old newsreels. It's amazing how dated things look with the benefit of hindsight isn't it :) |
