Was there ever a time when Corse roof hoops achieved a consistent good position?!
But to answer the question, undeniably the 1974 RAC, while out in Clocaenog awaiting my boss Tim's appearance in a Mazda RX3 coupe, I was totally blown away by Munaris Marlborough car.
As a 19 year old I was not aware of the Stratos and in a field of ancient looking Saabs, Escort Mk1's and even stuff like Hillman Avengers, then the Stratos looked like something from the future. My future I hoped!
I didn't realize it would take another forty years to get there.....
