Have a look at this:-

Bet some of those vans are worth a few quid now, I know Michael has a couple of old Ford Thames that he still uses.
I tried to get racing back to Crystal Palace in 2005 (Supermoto) and almost managed it. Might be worth another go now....

Re: Crystal Palace - Is this Bob?
about two thirds of the way through there's a number 36, I'm 100% that that's Alan Moss, doesn't look like Dad on the back but it should be, pic is a bit blurred on freeze frame.

Re: Crystal Palace - Is this Bob?
Reckon 36 is Mossy
Looks like quite a few furriners there as well but not one that I did.. Racing for me had at that time a temporary ban, well, ten years or so due to a major difficulty - one now ex-wife
That bit up Annerley Ramp and into the Alley looks ever more scary every time I see it

It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!

Re: Crystal Palace - Is this Bob?
l have a photo of Crystal Palace taken at Easter time in 1968, with Derek Plummer/Graham ? and Alan Moss and dad. and then the Sallis Brothers behind. it certainly looks like dad in the video clip. they went by so fast , but you should be able to tell its him by the way he leans.

Re: Crystal Palace - Is this Bob?
if you pause when 36 goes by it's definitely Mossy's beard
