PETER COLLINS RACING The ultimate DVD collection * 3 disc set * 5+ hours * Only £18 (plus £2 P&P in UK)
WHEN Peter Collins won the individual World Championship on that glorious afternoon in Poland on September 5, 1976, he was the first Englishmen to scale the sport's ultimate heights since his boyhood hero and fellow Belle Vue legend Peter Craven 14 years earlier.
Here's your chance to enjoy a unique collection celebrating PC's greatest track achievements and many of the most important races and key moments of a glittering career in which he won every major title worth winning.
This triple-disc set - running time 5 hours, 20 minutes - includes:
* 150 races featuring Peter in breathtaking action from eight different countries: England, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, USA, Australia and Italy.
* Admire his never-say-die style from 70 meetings throughout the world, including rare, previously unseen footage of this hugely popular speedway giant who was awarded the MBE for his services to speedway.
* Watch PC win the World Championship title in typically spectacular style in front of 100,000-plus spellbound supporters at Katowice.
* Starring as England's talismanic maximum man in three consecutive World Team Cup Final victories and World Pairs glory. Including all six races from his triumphant 1984 World Pairs Final with Chris Morton at Lonigo, Italy, which has never previously been broadcast in the UK.
* Those famous magical Wembley occasions, packed with skill, drama, thrills and spills, where he was crowned European and Inter-Continental Champion at his peak in the mid-70s.
* Re-live his classic battles with main rivals such as Anders Michanek, Malcolm Simmons, Ivan Mauger, Ole Olsen, Michael Lee, Bruce Penhall, Kelly Moran, Erik Gundersen, Egon Müller (long-track), etc.
* Contemporary interviews, including from Peter's emotional farewell meeting in 1987. OTHER RIDERS FEATURED IN ACTION
