<VV> Corvair sighting...

[Bill Elliott]

You are correct sir!

And I've seen this before and never even noticed.

Flying Circus Episode 39 "Grandstand" (Series 3, 13th and last of  
Series 3) recorded 5/18/72 and first aired 1/18/73. Last sketch of the 
show...

The Corvair is a maroon late model coupe (or possibly sedan!)... 
(difficult to tell from the angle... roofline looks more like a coupe 
but there seems to be a rear set of door handles.. could be a 
reflection) with bumper guards. Even pausing and zooming in on it 
couldn't tell me much... picture quality is well, 1972ish.

It's actually on for most of the first third of the sketch (parked in 
the street with the "wives" running back and forth).

Thanks for a sighting I'd not noticed!
