Mr Bridger, I've just been looking through the Silverstione Classic photo's and wondered if your CGT always been white? It looks amazing in that colour.

Those Porsche GT1's were simply gorgeous!!!!!!

I'd give a nod to the following as well;

Mercedes CLK GTR
Nissan R390
Toyota GT-one



P.S.: Am I being stupid, or shouldn't the title of the thread be 'Coolest Homologated' instead of 'Non-homologated'?

Was it your car that 5th gear used for a segment on the F1's road manners?

I think the OP is looking for racing cars that have been turned into road going cars. Not road going versions of the racers built by the factories for homologanastion purposes.
And so the Dauer is a no-no as it was built so that Dauer (porsche) could race it under GT1 rules in Lemans 1994. However the TVR is a yes as it was built by some maniac that thought "yeh, its tough to control on a track, lets try it on the roads......."
However the 962 is stunning...

Were the Daur 962's not built from original race cars? IIRC I pretty sure they were.

The 1994 Race winning car was only entered due to a loop hole in the regulations as there had been road cars produced they could enter it in GT1 rather than as a prototype. Which I believe allowed bigger restrictors and fuel tank enabling the 962 to remain competitive!

Those 917s are EXACTLY what I'm thinking of.

Where are they now though? Please let them still be on the road!

Manfredo Rossi di montelera brought his to the FOS this year. Very nice as well.

Stunning.

But, remind me again what the 'O' stood for?

Thanks, happy you like it, although it isnt a Dauer, its an american Fabcar genuine 962 (Ch no 0009) manufactured on behalf of Porsche (& with full factory approval) by Hurley Haywood (ex Le Mans winner in a 956/962),
thanks,
Mr B
