The landscape gives you quite a few clues, plus there are a few more in my post above. Refer to this one

NOT if you live in deepest Devon and, yes, I did note that it was a very good year except for the poor old French whilst a new Bikini was created. :-?

I just thought we were supposed to answer the question NOT asked in case it was a double entendre in written form. :slapme:

I'll read the answer when I get back from golf (again). :coat:

I hope David doesn't mind if I add a few more clues to help you reach the answer.

I was surprised none of our overnight visitors didn't get this one.

My sincere apologies, rog you are correct the photo I posted in error was from their 1965 rematch.

So your clue for the When this year, is the date of the Clay/Liston first bout in which the 22-year-old Cassius Clay shocked the book-makers by dethroning world heavyweight boxing champ Sonny Liston in a seventh-round technical knockout.

Sadly, I'm still not sure of the answer :-?

I now know the day, the car and the venue ... but not the year or event :(
Having fun looking though.

It's at Port Wakefield Race Circuit
The day ( from the Ali clue) is 25th February

At first I thought Aus Grand Prix, but Im struggling to link dates for that

Also haven't got a clue to the Tony Curtis link.

No - mine is X Power grey and the orginal picture is sepia not green - the no is different.

Notice Mr Forgetful has gone very quiet, perhaps he is still playing golf!!! luminous balls!!!

No, but I have just got in - I also feel that the answer to PQD44 last question is questionable see the following:-

1 Douglas AF-4 Skyhawk ? Douglas merged with McDonnell aircraft - later taken over by Boeing - Used to BOMB the bejabas out of the Vietnemese

2 NOT a M 16 Rifle originally manufactured by Colt who bought the rights from ArmaLite who were orginally part of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation who were a subcontractor for Boeing - company now no longer in aerospace rifle manufactured later by Fabrique Nationale S.A. of Belgium OR Rifleman Jones’s backside - he was looking for a BOMB

3 Alfa Romeo Mito - Built by Fiat - uses recycled plastics and metal collected from roadside BOMBs

4 Ferrari got to cost a BOMB to buy

5 Tony Curtis and e-type jag - One a teenage BOMB for girls and the other goes like a BOMB

6 Fiat 600 TOY made by Reville - founded in 1943/45 won’t bore you with history but make models of cars boats, trains and planes which have BOMBS although toy ones.

7 Alvis TF 21 - Alvis was part of Rover (1965) sold to United Scientific Holdings - subsequently Alvis Ltd - bought GKN armoured division then Vickers Defence Systems then formed a subsid Alvis Vickers ltd which eventually was bought out by BAE systems (which had owned Rover plc in 1990’s) - all make vehicles that have Bomb like qualities BUT it was because the Alvis TF21 Cost a BOMB

So the answer is BOMB - and given the fact that some MGF’s have recently “blown Up” due to a loose fuel pipe the answer is MGF.
