'Brutus Gold' Charger on TV

Post by RobTwin »

I was watching a new series on Sky Arts this evening, 'ICON: Music Through The Lens' and they showed what looked to be some stock b&w footage of 60's London followed this clip of a 3rd gen Charger driving... so I paused it and took a photo...

Initially I thought it was just colour film from back in the 70's but the vans in the background look like it's a fairly recent bit of film :roll:

I know the owner, but not his full name - Anthony, or Antonio? And looking back on here I see RPM and more recently Dave B have built the engine, and also that it has some history in the UK, hence the 'Brutus Gold' comment. Dunno how long it's been over here, but I thought I'd uncovered some footage showing it over here in the 70's with the same reg number. Evidently not :?

Adam is on holiday in the Dominican Republic at the moment and Alan is out enjoying himself.

Aw. Lucky Adam !
Saw Alan at a couple of meets over summer but not seen Adam for a long time.

Those 2 black chargers did look good though when racing up the A1...

I remember seeing it driving down Shaftesbury Avenue a few years ago.
