A blast from the past

Just found an ad on Ebay for a leaflet about a project I had some involvement with.
I took a car from this project to Castle Coombe and drove it around the track in between races as a demonstrator. Handed out leaflets to interested people who could have their Europa's converted to this design.

I remember seeing one in the showroom back in the day when you were involved mate, yellow I think it was (seriously)

Was that in Hanham or Oldland Common or somewhere near there?

GS cars was in Tower road south, opposite the King Billy pub. It had a showroom, where you might have seen it but more likely to be at the GS Lotus centre. The place where it was made, where I worked,which was in Two mile hill, Kingswood. Just down from the Kingsway traffic lights.

Wow, they actually allowed you to sales demo a car on the track? :o, even between races that must have meant a lot of string pulling.

It was a long time ago and the coombe was a very different place. Even had little boxes to pee in then :-X. None of the buildings that are there now.

It sounds a very different place. Much more friendly but possibly not as safe maybe.
