Sorry, but I think the Coupé looks are ‘challenging’. Last edited by Mike Bell; 14 Dec 2019 at 06:10. |

Thanks for the well documented answers. See that Bob, you give so much pleasure with your pictures that we can play with the background!
Its the first time I find the word "challenging" in this kind of context but think I got the spirit. In french we could say something like "elle n'a pas un physique facile" but in general its more related to women than cars. I guess putting this one and a Zagato DB4 GT could enlighten any foreigner to the word challenging! Am I right here, Mike? |

Thanks Mike and Bob. Because he goes to Goodwood, may be you could convince the Gordini owner to bring his jewel closer to its root. One day or another…
Picture #2 shows something looking like a hearse and let me tell you its not so often you see one of those driven flat out ! |

If you’re going to post a pic of a D50 then I have to respond with a video compilation of the noise they make! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibqRxFLEuvY
First time I saw and heard one at the Revival many years ago I couldn’t believe the sound- you could hear it way before you could see it..... |

Well no, not for a few years anyway. Presumably they could make some more if they wanted Did you see how many red lights the first one went through on the way out? What sort of safety message does that send .... etc., etc.? |

Well, Gerard, there are some impressionable youngsters watching such videos (not many I'll admit, but a few) and you know how things are in the modern world. ....
Still, I suppose that did send some outriders to enforce at least some degree of control over the situation. I'm not sure whether that is a good or a bad thing. It makes it look like the "authorities" condone such dangerous behaviour ... and the "carbon". Disgraceful! |

Don't let anyone tell you they don't race these old cards, hard;
The driver was trapped inside the car, but was released unharmed. |
