thats the only film of a works van ive ever seen
bernard unett in the gls was a legend in the 70s and the chap in the suit is des odell who ran the chrysler works teams culminating in him masterminding the lotus sunbeam to the world rally championship
he was responsible for building the avenger tiger and ive got his original tiger in the shed!!!

looked like the van had the trailer hooked on as well after towing one of the race entries to the circuit in the "part 1" segment, .... good to see where this old film footage is starting to appear out of archives etc for all to see.
