Just stumbled across this on the ‘Tube - 72 RAC Rally, following the exploits of the Zs:

Watched that many times Rich and of course I spectated on the rally for a lot of the route. It was a huge win for Roger Clark who broke the Scandinavian stranglehold.

Great Datsun footage.

The car which Marcel Roks was trying to sell (as a broker) was not present on the 1972 RAC Rally. You've got the wrong year.

This is another film of the same even, showing more footage of other non-Datsun cars. I think the film above may be an edited version of this one?

I'm actually in this film ha ha. At 25.58 there is a group of 3 chaps with hoods up - I'm on the right (the other two are my cousins). Blimey nearly 50 years ago - I loved the RAC Rally. I was rallying myself during that period as a navigator - happy days.
