Lead Sleds and Low Riders

At the Sacramento Autorama, the main focus of attention is long and low-riding ‘custom’ cars, rather than hotrod coupes and open roadsters. Sleek, smooth, sculptured sedans are the stars here and the event is always billed - and always accepted - as ‘The World’s Largest Custom Show’. This is what happened as we cruised the 1996 show, zooming in for a close-up look at the star cars, talking to the guys who build and drive these beauties and taking a (lengthy!) peek at the famous annual ‘bikini contest’....in fact, all the stars and all the atmosphere of ‘Autorama ‘96’ are on this tape - the perfect way to enjoy the World’s Largest Custom Show!

Ferrari Champion Sports Racers

When Enzo Ferrari himself was racing for Alfa Romeo, he dreamed of winning sports car classics such as the Mille Miglia, the Le Mans 24 Hours, the Targa Florio, the Sebring 12-Hours and the Daytona 24 Hours in the USA - all of these fell to the marque from Maranello. In this comprehensive authoritative review we look at the races they contested and they cars which scored these successes. Enjoy rare archive footage plus current action, detailed studies and on-board footage with a Type 166 Corsa (one of the two oldest Ferrari's in existence) and with the 1962/63 Type Le Mans prototype 330LMB. A must for Ferrari fans.

Champion Kenny Roberts

Nowadays he's a mentor and manager but here you can relive the unique flair that made America's ‘King’ Kenny the sensation of the late '70s international GP scene.

Kenny Roberts arrived on the GP scene after winning the American Grand National Championship two years in succession. In his first year he won the 500cc World Championship - and then went on to make it a hat trick with overall victories in '79 and '80! (Note: approximately half the content of this tape also appears on ‘King Kenny - the Grand Prix Years’)

Ferrari the Great GT Cars

The initials 'GT' are now commonplace throughout the automotive world but it was Ferrari who established them as the symbol for high performance road cars. Cars such as the 250GT classics and their 275GTB successors; the 330GT models and the 365GTB 'Daytona', right through to the 456GT and 550 Maranello of today. In the eyes of many, the GT Ferraris are the ultimate in power, style and speed. Their ability, vigour, swiftness and supreme form rate them far above other makes of car which have adopted the GT label. Included in this wide-ranging overview are rare prototypes and favourite Ferrari GT models. Superb viewing.

Rods Roadsters and Radical Customs

Oakland USA invariably plays host to the very best rods and roadsters, coupes and customs in the world. And nowhere on earth will you find a more incredible collection of custom motorcycles. It is, quite simply, the best. Plus, you will never see the same machine twice at Oakland, which means every car or bike you’ll see in this 1996 review is quite different from anything ever seen before - or since. Even more incredible is the fact that, for every one of the 300 vehicles accepted, four or five more were turned away. These are truly the creme de la creme of customs...
