Please let me know if you'd like a license plate blanked. I did some, but not all.

fyi - the red Urraco you have images of is actually a 250 S - that's why it's got an 'S' badge on the back! P300's just had a '3000' badge there instead.
Also, you missed the other Jarama S that was there - that is unless you were not there until after about 3.30pm when the car left... without the owner driving it... letting the new LCUK chairman drive it away again, oh the woe
It seems that nobody actually took a picture of my car on the day - did I dream it was there??? If I did, I dreamt I started the car, dreamt I fought with the overwhelming wish to have the crowd part a I drove it away - I mean, it's my car, I could have done if I wanted to, (he said, feeling just a bit peeved that there are pix of the other two and not Kermit the Raging Bull(frog), grrr, grrr etc...
some great pictures otherwise - well done!

Thanks for the update on the Urraco model, i've updated the filenames.Also, you missed the other Jarama S that was there - that is unless you were not there until after about 3.30pm when the car left... without the owner driving it... letting the new LCUK chairman drive it away again, oh the woe

I've just scanned through all the pictures again and the only Green car i have a picture of, and indeed remember seeing, was the Lancia special based on a vw beetle chassis iirc. Where was your car parked and what was it?
I was parked right next to the blue Jarama S - my car being a green Jarama S - reg. SPD 733L - see my profile picture!
if we'd have found a way we would have got the red one into the enclosure or else the blue one and mine outside with the red one!
SOME INFO: There are probably less than 6 Jarama S's in the UK, so that was at least half of them at Brooklands. There were only ever 150 made, probably less than 10% of those were rhd so, all told, quite a turnout just for that alone but, no worries - really I'm used to my poor ol' Lambo getting overlooked... Crikey Mikey doesn't actually believe the car exists - mind you that's a bloody great big, low wide chunk of not-existing going on...

aha, that means this one on the right 
Very sorry about the lack of photo's of it. It must have been due to the excessive amount of people crowding round admiring it, i couldn't get a clear shot
Stunning car you have. I wasn't aware of its rarity. Although thinking about it, i've only ever seen 4 in the flesh.
Well - at least the small bit of the car that can be seen here proves it WAS at the event - so thanks for that - the crowds were probably LCUK Members nagging at me to drive it more often (I so bloody very flaming well wish, oh yes...)
The car - might - be at the Brands Hatch event this weekend when I'll not be driving it yet again!!
