Great shots, would like to see some of thse racing today.

[midgetman]

AGD thanks for these great pictures and the detailed info, it's appreciated.

But you don't get the spirit of the thread. You're supposed to put up great pictures and ask the question "What connects them?" You then roll around laughing at our stupidity because we don't know that all the drivers had aunties who had best friends that once knew the same racing driver.

Bauble, thanks for telling us about the ERA. Without that I'd have thought it was a Silver Arrow.

The 158 Alfa was also designed pre war with less than 200 BHP by the time it had won its championships it had over 400 BHP, and a massive supercharger.
This made the car very fuel innefficient, just over 1MPG, both Fangio & Farina had to stop twice for fuel at Silverstone and allowed the Ferrari to win and beat the Alfa's for the 1st time.
