90%, including one lucky and one unlucky Ferrari-related guess.

Weirdly inconsistent questions; some list four different marques when the badge on the car in the photo is clearly visible, others ask you to distinguish between four variants of one particular model of Ferrari. Fun anyway, thanks for the link.

100% for me. Was fairly easy with a little educated guesswork, but I am a fan of historic racing.

As OP, slightly embarrassed that so far I am in equal last place. In my defence, I am 'only' 40, so well before my time.
