Title: Classic Top Gear Post by: andymc on 01 April, 2009, 03:42:58 PM I had not seen this before, the 1988 Top Gear test of the integrale with Tony Mason and Russell Brookes at the wheel complete with pudding basin haircut and shirt and tie. It's like Alan Partridge..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfRGO7rhuj4 Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: ncundy on 01 April, 2009, 04:18:55 PM Old Hairpin at Donington too. I remember at the time Willie Green owned the first one I ever saw in Derby, was often outside his workshop. Good find.
Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: sparehead3 on 01 April, 2009, 07:40:42 PM Excellent !
Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: stuwilson128 on 01 April, 2009, 08:43:13 PM Excellent find....Top Gear from the days when the programme was a proper and informative car show, unlike the current format!
Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: Neil Lewis on 01 April, 2009, 10:41:05 PM It looks and sounds just like mine (an F reg) but 32 mpg, who are they trying to kid?
Neil Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: sparehead3 on 02 April, 2009, 07:04:26 AM Out of interest, is that car still around ? Worth a bit more now if it is .....
Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: andymc on 02 April, 2009, 07:41:34 AM It still seems to be on record. Although Maroon?
Vehicle Registration Mark E732 DAP Make LANCIA Model DELTA HF INTEGRALE 4WDTransmission & fuel type MANUAL PETROL Body Type5 DOOR HATCHBACK ColourMAROON http://www.vehiclecheck.co.uk/VehicleCheck/ Mind you I am not that interested to fork out the £19.99 to find out it's history..... Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: SteveGales on 02 April, 2009, 11:19:15 AM Well spotted Andy!
I remember those Top Gear days too but didn't remember that test. William Woollard also used to host 'Rally Report' which covered the RAC Rally , the opening music was great and I used to enjoy the live coverage of the 'Mickey Mouse' stately home stages. A bit different to today's WRC. With regards to E732 DAP it was obviously one of the press cars as it appears in several period road tests including a head to head with a £90 K Testarossa! I spotted it in the 'Gold Portfolio' book on the Delta along with E731 DAP, both were listed as bright (Rosso Monza?) red.

I've got that book Steve, I know the review your talking about ... Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: sparehead3 on 02 April, 2009, 03:25:50 PM Bad news chaps ... the clip has now gone due to copyright :( ... don't suppose it's on the BBC iPlayer .. ?
Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: stuwilson128 on 02 April, 2009, 08:42:42 PM The vehicle check site is a good site. Interestingly, it lists my first car, which I scrapped in 1998!
Title: Re: Classic Top Gear Post by: andymc on 02 April, 2009, 09:22:48 PM Yep, you have to pay the money to find out the history of the car.
If it still lists your original car I guess it just means the number hasn't been reallocated to anything else. Unless it could be classed as a "cherished" number I don't suppose it would be. |
