Hi, I work at Avon tyres and was in contact with Graham Smith a few years ago when I found the footage of Rapide KYB 440 being used for testing on local roads near the factory in Melksham, UK; I think many of you have seen that as I let Graham have a copy.

I've posted a few more videos of films onto youtube that have been found in dark cupboards, this one I think you will enjoy; its Burns and Wright setting the 1955 land speed records for solo and sidecar, then Vic Willoughby riding the bike at Pendine Sands.

Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for that. I've had it on Super Eight Film and a Beta tape for years......... It's good to see it again!
