ELECTRIC CARS, TAXIS FOR STARS, AND BROADCASTING THE TT RACES!

Update: 2024-03-28

Description

We're on the move in The Archive Room this week ..... The Curator of the Marown Motor Museum tells David Callister about some of more unusual vehicles on display there; Alfred Duggan talks taxis - reminiscing about the early days of his business when he drove stars and sporting heroes around the Island - and Geoff Cannell and Charles Webster tell David Callister how they pioneered broadcasting of TT race commentaries - back in 1965!
