Don't you think the Ferrari should have a white stripe at front (If related to Sir Stirling Moss)? Well, where is my coat now?

[rbs]

If it had been the Moss then it would have been registered as 1SWB, it is just a Ferrari 250SWB, not the Moss car.

The Rob Walker 250 GT SWB, along with the Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato the two most stunning cars ever made. IMHO of course.

There is no such thing as "just a Ferrari 250 SWB"

[rbs]

There was over 150 of them made!

To aid, and prompt discussion ....

All my own work..

I recognise that last picture, I do not remember passing it on to you.

'Experts' can't agree.

Talacrest- "Of the 176 examples built, both steel and aluminum bodies were used in various road ("lusso") and racing trims."

Kidston- "Marque historians consider that no more than 165 SWBs were built. After an initial run of pure competition cars with all-alloy bodies, over a two-year period Ferrari offered the more refined steel 250 GT SWB Lusso (‘luxury’) to its best clients."

Sorry, RB I borrowed it as I do not have one of the car in my collection, I seem to remember you posted it in a puzzle of your own, once upon a time.
I was there that day, but did not have my Box Brownie.

Apologies and thanks.

Note; RBS had the right answer to the puzzle.

Peter, not my choice, but both beautiful designs, in past posts on the subject I am staggered by the things people find 'beautiful'

The Ferrari in particular is a work of art.

I am glad we can agree on somethings

July 1952...... I can (just) say I wasnt even a twinkle in my Father's eye

FWIW I couldnt even work out what the question was on that post.

EB; There was no question, that is why you could not work it out - perhaps?
The pictures were more clues to the 'connection' puzzle, however, maybe you can ID all of the cars for us? I know you like a challenge.

Who is the odd-one-out, and why? That is all I ask, simple really.

Try harder, did you think I would put up something as simple as that, but you are half way there.

And I thought Delta had got that one fair and square. It just goes to show whatever is in our quizmasters mind is often shrouded in mystery

Maybe Clark is the odd one out because he only drove for the one team throughout his F1 career.

Edit: Of course it could be Hill, the only person to win the "Triple Crown". Hill was also the only one pictured to have a son become WDC as well.

As I pointed out to another competitor via PM, they are all the odd-one for some reason, however, five have achieved something quite significant, while one has not, and it is not being WDC. Well that is, not just that.

Thanks for making things clear. By the way, what is your question?
