Smokey 6 litre should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thunder Saloon Video

My brother recently picked up a half hour vhs of a Thunder Saloon race from Brans for 50p at a car boot.

i dont know what year it was but the Camaero, Calibra, Carlton and Rod Birly's manic black Prelude were all present (Rod didn't make the start in the first race)

The quality is really poor and the comentary is dire but i was wondering if this is a promotional one off or are there more around because it is worth watching.

Prelude debuted in 1993. Several videos were made of Thundersaloons over the years and I believe some are possibly still available.

Mine are from the 80s.

Who won the races on your video? I'll ask Rod to put a date to them.

Does this video have a title or is it a third copy?

The original post is 5 years old so you may not get a response. Or the footage has since been recorded over with coronation street.
