some unusual machinery attempting it (and some very inept riding/driving!)

That was fun to watch. The Ford 4-bangers seemed to do well.

Agreed it was fun to watch but I as surprised to see a triumph tr3 and some mg j types, cars from the 50s and worth probably £30k+

Also vw beetles seem to fare better than average, engine weighing down the rear axle?

I've not ridden a motorcycle off road but would have thought going up a steep hill, you should be standing on the pegs to weigh down the front? Very few did that.

VW Beetles have legendary off-road capabilities.

Ah, the VW Beetle. I had 3 of them and a microbus. We had much fun transversing the logging roads in southern Ohio. Thanks for posting this film.
