Very strange that its in B&W in 1974. I remember watching this in colour on Blue Peter on TV. God knows how they managed to show a B&W film anywhere at that time. It's not been preserved well either.

In 1974 I was working in NZ in design and had to do all illustrations for ads in both black and white and in colour to suit the different TV sets.....oh boy! Hence this black and white film.

Being a Brooklands racer Parry used to lean out of the right side of the car and line up along the bonnet. The drive chain came off the big sprocket you can see in this clip and took his head off.

Thanks Shaun. When I looked into this it seems the crash may have been due to the OSR wheel failing. Imagine hanging on to a brute like this at 180+.

Why was it buried?

@mrrolandlawrence 3 года назад

the guy driving had his head sliced off by the drive chain. for his mechanics it was too gruesome to carry on so they buried the car where it crashed.
