Oh the irony, now I'm the one who's factually incorrect!

Oh god - that 917. Beautiful.

[chevronb37]

Anyone know who owns the remaining M20s? Are there any in Europe?

[Yeloperil]

This collector brought some of these awesome cars from his toy store to Silverstone last summer for a shake down and driver familiarisation test day. Can you imagine trying to get your head around lapping a GT40, then 917, then 908, then DBR9? I guess it required some very different driver techniques for the different eras. Definitely not for the faint hearted but what an incredible experience!

[MiniMan64]

Surely they now need the famous Gulf liveried Le Mans Double decker to complete the collection?

Tired, Dirty, End of the Season Gulf Colours from 2010 Le Mans Series after Silverstone last year.

It's as if the Gulf colours are universal... they seem to work no matter what the vehicle they're applied to.
I dont think the 1969 Brabham & 1970 Mclaren F1 cars should be counted as neither wore the blue/orange. They simply had gulf sponsorship... they weren't actually gulf racing cars... just my tuppence worth

I got to sit in the Steve Mcqueen 917 at Goodwood a few years back, and the guy let me stand right behind it as he fired it up. A Day I will never forget, I'm still a bit deaf from it

A collection related by logo only? Some people have more money than sense. Not much appreciation for motorsport history, should be on display to everyone on a racing circuit.

Some beauties among that lot but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the Mclaren F1 GTR which looks as fresh now as it did the day it was born
