This is a film of one of the first 4x4 trials in 1962. Notice the collar and ties.
No roll cages or marshalls in vests

Scott, remind me to never co-drive for you again (as I did once when I was a bit younger, and I, erm, 'helped' you win ), I fear I may be asked to lean out of your truck

cool. some things havnt changed like lieing on the bonnet to put the tow rope on so you dont get wet feet.
more people be doing trials if it was still like that. should be a class for normal trucks instead of all gocarts .
