The British Film Institute had a copy of Cruisin' two or three years ago. I think you can arrange a viewing. No Shutdown though.

Cant stop,keep rockin' kid............................................... ......(guitar reburberating)
well, i know this little china man!!...................
Yeh still got my copy ken, brilliant record & for all those who havent seen it, check out the other video on u tube, its brilliant, by the way nice carpet ken, does it have a spot of acne?
Well spotted Mark ! Just a bit to add Martyns piece on the fliming of Cruisin' on Southend sea front. Very good by the way Martyn. It was filmed at the end of 1976 they put some lights there to light some pieces up. Some of the other cars i remember being there. Street Odysey, Moondust, Brian Surreys 58 Chevy cop car, my 55 Chevy and a lot more. The Southend first official Cruisin' in all though it was always a hot spot for cars. motorbikes and scooters was arranged by the Eastern Cruisers. I think it was 1974 13th Sept. Hope i am right with year Martyn or even the decade!. p.s. 1975 13th Sept might be right date.

Here is a bit some one put on earlier on the thread. Hope they dont mind.
Correct!
and the "Cruisin dahn Sarfend" article was written I think by Terry Sands
Brilliant stuff, just remembered i got hold of some more pics of one of the southend shows from steve dudley, unsure of the year though, hopefully someone should know, you can just see marty babbs blast off? Rail in front of nick kemps lo lid zephyr.
I got a feeling they did a show in about 86?? Which this could be, help me out here...
NOW IM GONNA LEAVE YOU WITH THIS LITTLE TEASER, JOHN HOCKLEYS WID RIDE, DID IT EVER GO YELLOW??, I SHALL EXPLAIN SONN...
I dont no about yelow but i think it may have gone to primer grey at one time. Jeff Owen his partner at Hot Rod Enterprises V6 Pop was yellow. I have an idea Johns may have.
I reckon so unless this is a different Pop with Wild Ride's plates?................ http://www.timetraveldvds.co.uk/gall.../target34.html
bl**dy hell, you learn somfin every day!! Well done nick thats a new one on me & ken obviously.....heres my reasoning, if you look in front of the last pic of the yellow pop you can just about see wild, on the showcard, so that got me thinking, as your pic is from stoneliegh 85 my suspisions for the southend show being 86 could well be correct?.....i think the karmen was richie kings? & cant remember whos the capri was but loved it, think it may still be about?? , the 1st pic by the way shows wild ride in its origional guise......
That Capri was about a couple of years ago on ebay ,looked good still and sold for large sum of money ,havent seen it since thou
Remember this at the museum?
Its called a beverley.
Dad said it was chopped up on site , removed & scrapped?, can anyone confirm this?, damn shame.
Plus heres another couple of odd pics, andy kays ak windscreens van, and a camaro in the car park, dont know the year though off hand.
Pics courtesy of les box, ( whoever he is?)
All together now, la,la,la, la, la americarrr,
That recording is getting common, Hi Martyn Ron and Ken.. I must find the soundtrack from Shutdown, I know it's here somewhere..........Still got my copy of Spinning Rock Boogie by Hank C. Burnette Martyn. Mopar has one to i think.

Got one of their old catalogues somewhere!
That Blackburn Beverley still exists to this day!! it now resides at the Fort Paull museum just outside of Hull. I saw it,went inside it last september at the YANCS car show,hope your glad to hear its survived,i think its the only one left, they were made in Brough about 15 miles from Hull and named after Beverley the town which is 8 miles to the north of Hull.....
