A revitalised TWC the Invacar braves the mean, congested streets of London, before heading to Goodwood Motor Circuit, where she gets out on track! How did we manage that?

TWC being the "unofficial pace car" was super awesome!!! How an anyone drool over an E type Jaguar at Goodwood when you have a 1972 Invacar racing on your backside. lol. I also loved the video of TWC next to that seemingly abandoned SD1 in London's center. How Ian finds these perfect snapshots are beyond me but i love them. I'm proud of TWC and all it's accomplishments! Might need some new tires after that race track run though. Smiles.

I used to think that the Invacar looked like a 'Bog On Wheels', but the intervening years and sentimentality, your odyssey Witt TWC has allowed me to fall in really, really, like her / them, for the fist time. Back in the 80's, a drummer i knew used to get a good few pieces of his kit in his fathers; that he used to pinch to get to rehearsals... a cheeky Scouser, in a Bog On Wheels, "Bombing" thru the South Liverpool streets... Life just ain't like that no more...
