The Porsche In #2 is iconic, but so is the Ford GT40 in the last shot. Good you included the McLaren Chevrolet 1970 too. Too bad we can't hear its soundtrack. I do really miss the Porsche 917 in this. TFS Neil

I had the opportunity to attend a vintage race weekend a few years ago that featured cars from the old Can Am series. The rumble of those beats was something that sent shivers up my spine. Neil, thanks for allowing us a glimpse behind the guilded (or Gulf blue and orange) curtain. Amazing opportunity...and well captured for us to enjoy. |

Ah; yes - the 917. They do, normally, have a 917 in the collection but unfortunately it was out on loan/display the day i was there. Believe me - if it had been there, it would have been photographed!
Thanks and best regards, Neil. |

Not if you see all the merchandising now associated with the brand! There's money to be made in the history and folklore associated with it by the looks of it.

You made my day.... TFS. I love motorsports since the days of the Ford GT40, Matra MS530, Alfa Romeo 33 and Ferrari 330. In F1 we had the Lotus, Eagle/Westlake, BRM, Tyrell and Ferrari. Your pictures bring back good memories!

Hello Neil👋
Thank you for the time travel to a favorite era. What a treat to see this collection. Thank you for sharing. Of course the ford GT is my favorite. It looks like it could go out a win a race today. I was expecting to see Steve McQueen or at least James Garner ha ha tfs |
