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....

Mum will know for sure but I'm pretty sure Dad's passengering in there, 69/70 were the years he passengered the TT and never missed Crystal Palace, we lived at the end of the road.

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.

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 :o

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. :P .

if you pause when 36 goes by it's definitely Mossy's beard :P

and normally visor up as he wore glasses. a good thing about Crystal palace was it only took a ;minute to get there, and you could even go home for lunch. or the Prehestoric monsters still there do you know.? in the park.
