Very hard to see him in this state. He actually passed away only five days after this interview. Yet he remains beloved nearly 30 years after he passed on.
The workers had become too powerful! And the Labour Party's betrayel! If they could have managed it then, the Rootes family would have produced the cars in China!
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful souvenir of the late David Shepherd! It's a lovely reminder of him and those days of, what is, I feel, a bygone era. Bless you. 🕊️✨🎨✨🕊️
Naughty QUENTIN WILSON sarcastically narrating this! (As usual!) Manufacturers should have SUED for defamation. Such reviewers MUST have damaged SALES , by damaging CARS' REPUTATIONS!
I have remembered and quoted what he replied to ''how he like to be remembered' . It's such a compelling truth from some-one who is a human before any other 'role'.
I've owned two in my time and absolutely agree with Tiff. Such a fun car and so easy to look after. Mine were both mint and uprated and trouble free. Thanks for reminding an old lad of those awsome days. Such a wolf in sheeps clothing; that the Lotus Sunbeam not me. 😅
The late actor Windsor Davies. I met him once around 1976, when he was promoting the opening of our new local DIY super-store ('Dodge City'). I got a signed photograph.
Yup. The dark was designed and largely owed her components to facilities elsewhere in Britain... which is why the car was less cost effective to build than could've been the case, had the government not had Rootes by the nads re' planning permission to expand Ryton.
