At last year’s Silverstone Classic, Dickie Meaden was handed the chance to drive the famous BMW 635 CSi of Jim Richards for the December issue of Motor Sport (available in print and digital form here).
As it proved, he became well acquainted with it from the outside come race day – Dickie and Richards battled it out during the Heritage Touring Car Cup.
And so, with it being ’80s month in print and online, we’ve dug into the not-too-distant archives to relive it all.
What is ‘80s month? Motor Sport is going all ‘80s in print this month – available here – and so the website is following suit. Read about the turbo’s last hurrah, why Group C was sports cars’ best era and much more all month
