If mine had been is that good a condition, :lol: I'd probably know where it was now, it had returned to nature a little more than the one you posted, as quoted above.
That does look suspiciously like the folks' garden though, but my Hunter was a Hillman=badged one and didn't have a red RoI plate on the back of it like the Chrysler version in the photo.

Another old thread resurrection after I discovered an excellent video clip with some familiar faces performing:

Oldtimer-TV.de

The German journalist colleagues seem to think it was a pretty conclusive German win :lol:

There are some interesting videos on that site (it helps if you speak the language).

Cheers
Karl
