LeMans Photo

Postby RJS » 22 Nov 2013 15:35

I have alway loved this photo. I think it is the LeMans car, but I could be wrong (I had always seen it in red).

If I had time and money, I would try to do something similar to these lines as a fastback.

The rear reminds me of the 70's vette the in this photo.

Hi Rob,

Thats the Le Man car, it was originaly green as shown, and sporting its entry number. Was painted red, white and blue when she once again attempted to go Le Man for the third time in 82 but as unfortunatley the budget was not there.

Having been testing at Silverstone with this car it is <b>AWESOME</b> [8D] would love to see her run in anger one day.

Cheers John
