I made this video back in the day (about 15 years ago) and the original footage was supplied from Rover. This was just an practice in editing.

I like this clip. It reminds me of the days when my parents drove Rovers almost exclusively. mk1 820e, mk1 820i, Sterling mk1 2.7, 216SE(the pre R8 shape),214SLI(R8) 216SLI(R8) and a 220SLD(the rounded shape). They were all great apart from the 820e's temperamental fuel injection system. Rovers are excellent and this is a lovely vid

@CaptainSlow1991 I dont have the original footage, all of my original material from this era has been been given to the archieves at the heritage motor museum at gaydon.

Where did you find the footage of Pond's FIRST attempt at a 100mph lap? If you still have it could you send me the full thing?
