It was competitive too, with Brian Redman scoring an early victory in the car at the 1969 Nurburgring 500 Kilometres, despite having a smaller ...

Chassis number HU62 was the last T332C built by Lola, having been specially commissioned by Len Gibbs Racing in preference to the complex and far less successful T400 which had been launched by the Huntingdon concern in 1975. It therefore represents the final iteration of arguably the most successful Formula 5000 car of all time, and also the last F5000 ever built by the factory.

Initially ...

Like a matched pair of Purdeys, a wardrobe full of bespoke Saville Row suits or a parade of hand stitched brogues, few things are as quintessentially English as an Aston Martin. Backed by a strong racing heritage and glittering silver screen career, Astons remain the stuff of dreams to many. Launched at the 1965 Motor Show, it was the first model to be engineered after the factory move from Feltham ...

Designed by Peter Brock the aerodynamically efficient bodywork of the Shelby Daytona Coupé transformed the performance of the Cobra, enabling it to compete successfully against Ferrari’s 250 GTO. Narrowly missing out on the 1964 GT World Championship, the marque went one better in 1965 when the factory cars were run by Alan Mann Racing. However the arrival of the GT40 signalled the end of the road ...
