[edit] Video

BBC TV did a very nice documentary on the Nimrod project in the eighties (even had Elgars' Nimrod on the soundtrack) I wonder if anyone has it on videotape?

I've got it on an old VHS cassette . If anyone wants a copy leave some details (an address) and I'll put it on DVD. The quality isn't too bad at all considering I recorded it from TV over 20 years ago.

[edit] Car name

I believe it is more correct to call this car a Nimrod-Aston Martin, rather than the other way around. The car was neither built by nor for Aston Martin, and the chassis actual name was Nimroad NRA C2. --Pc13 08:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

You are correct, the car is officially a "Nimrod NRA C2-Aston Martin," although the team name I believe was "Aston Martin Nimrod". This picture shows "Nimrod Racing" and "Aston Martin Nimrod" on the side of their truck. The359 09:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
