Does anyone remember this...??!!
I was not sure whether I should have put this in the 'TV Motoring Shows' section as it was in a TV Show listings guide!!!
As far as I can see (from limited knowledge and Google exploration!) the 'GCC' was the motoring section of the TV Times magazine during the 1960's and 1970's but if anyone can shed any more light on this that would be great...
So, do you remember the Gemini Car Club?!

Sorry I must've missed your thread Harry otherwise I would've added to it, though I'm not sure I would've recognised the name 'Gemini Car Club' before I'd started taking notice of the TV Times articles.
I can always add the articles to this thread as well. The TV Times scans I have only go as far back as 1972.

I'll add any more Gemini Car Club articles I come across here rather than the car reviews of yesteryear thread, seeing as it's a dedicated thread & I don't want to bog down The Saint's thread with more of the same content when it's for older car reviews in general.
These articles began in July 1972. Week 1 featuring Adam Faith I don't have, this is the second week with Patrick Mower-

Many thanks again Arthur for these. On the other thread I looked up the DVLA record for the red DAF 44 that Jenny Hanley drove and it was still taxed till 1989 I believe so lasted well.
But this Scimitar that Patrick Mower drive is still around and currently licensed!!  |

The mark 1 Capri is a great looking car, and it's simple mechanical layout made it practical and easy to maintain. It's my favourite of the three versions, the later 1974 on versions I didn't like as much, but they are still nice motors
