"Wheelbase" was a BBC television series about cars broadcast on BBC2 between 1964 and 1975. Amongst its presenters were Gordon Wilkins between 1964 and 1973 and Cliff Michelmore. The show was the predecessor of Top Gear. Wheelbase was amongst the first programmes in the UK to be shown in colour during BBC2's "colour launching period".
"Wheelbase"'s coverage of Formula One motor racing in the late 1960's was repeated on UK satellite channel ESPN Classic. The programmes were transmitted largely as originally broadcast, but with occasional captions to put period commentary into context.

This episode of "Wheelbase" takes a in depth look at the Monaco Grand Prix which took place on May 18th 1969. With commentary by Maxwell Boyd and roving reporting from Colin Waldeck the team follows the race inter cut with the back scene politcs which was tearing the sport apart. With Jackie Stewart dominating this year's Motor Racing Championship the BBC decide to follow Graham Hill, who won the race in 1968, but is struggling this season in a slow Lotus car.
