Cant say the looked particularly beautiful in 1964, getting very tired !
So sad to drive past Swinderby on the A46 to see its state if dereliction.
As an 18 year old they were all beautifull, especially the new ones, although I preferred the single seat Mk5's and 9's even though they looked clapped/worn out.
