Wow, what incredible footage! Not much room for error on those mountain passes is there? I love watching 70s rallying, such a variety of cars, most of them looking not too far removed from the ordinary road cars they're derived from.
Thanks and well done for posting this.

would the third Marina be an Australian TC?

Just a funny observation on this stuff.
Many years ago when we were running the LE over to Yokshire we'd go over Sutton Bank along a bumpy A road.
My old man had fitted a nice stereo and was a James Last fan .(bear with me)
Anyway the music playing in the back ground with the rally sequences was the same tune that was played in our coupe.
There was a point along that road that he could get the bumps in time with the music!

Yeah i know!

I don't think so, the wipers are the wrong way round.
