Annie Nightingale (sigh) looks behind the scenes as Peter Gethin explains the finer points of the Mclaren M19 to her prior to the 1971 British Grand Prix and then at the race. Close up pictures of the M19 included, here is the link:

Be warned, 1970’s fashion, sideburns, flares, and very wide collars not to mention innuendo. I was there!

Enjoy,

Thank you so much for posting that. I sigh along with you.

One of my favourite YT videos is of Annie Nightingale hosting the Damned playing Smash it Up on the Old Grey Whistle Test back in 1979. I appreciate that non-UK viewers (or indeed anyone less that around 50) may never have heard of the Old Grey Whistle Test, but it used to be one of my must watch TV programmes back in the day.

And I'm sure I spotted a brief glimpse of a BT34 on the video (which Rodnico recently posted as a finished model).

Nostalgia certainly isn't what it used to be ..
