monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 I agree the 917 was the most successful. But I think others were more beautiful to look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 For my best pick, it would be the Ford GT40: Amon and McLaren at LeMans....I wish I could have seen it..... 1961 Aston Martin DB4: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The GT40 is cool I have also to mention the Audi Quattro rally car, totally crazy! I can hear it now SNARRRP!! I know some of you will all laugh out loud but I have to say it....The Triumph Spitfire won it's class in SCCA several years in a row and it still wins at the run offs in the H production class. Additionally most of you could probably afford to go out and buy one and restore it for less that half the cost of a new car!!! I also love the old Jaguar D type but who can afford 1.5 million US for a toy!! ok you can start laughin now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was tempted a few years back by a nice white spitfire....(I was at a scottish festival...which may sound pretty odd to our british friends...I mean, it's not like you brits have an american festival, eh?).

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 Not at all. The Sh#tfire is an old favourite of mine. But I'd prefer a GT6. (Mk2 with rotoflex) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those McLaren CanAm were beatifuls (mainly the M20 of 1972) and won many races and championships but since the 1972 season they were beaten in a row by the 917/30 and its 1100CV!!!

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Great topic, I'm surprised its never been asked before! I'm far from being a racing car expert but I would agree with whoever said audi quattro rally car, as it redefined rally cars and for its time was incredible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wez 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Well as for my nominated car... The Mclaren F1 GTR! The summer of '95; seven GTR's enter the formidable Le Mans 24 hour race. It was the greatest Le Mans debut ever, 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th overall and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the GT class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
