Er chaps there isn’t a C Type in the world or a vaguely comp spec XK120 that *isnt* thoroughly and comprehensively used hard! That certainly includes both mentioned as I’ve watched them first hand.
Almost everything historic and competition is used these days. The value rises that events such as Goodwood, Silverstone, Spa, etc have driven have simply made it happen. And long may it continue.
I think you may have posted in the wrong thread...Almost everything historic and competition is used these days. The value rises that events such as Goodwood, Silverstone, Spa, etc have driven have simply made it happen. And long may it continue.

I remember, probably about a decade now, one of the aluminium E-Types (ince raced by Hill iirc) getting really badly bent at one historic event. I'm not sure I'd enjoy caning something from an era when even Volvos were dangerous!
They are worth so much they can always be fixed.Exige77 said:

James Hunt had an A35 Van (Countryman conversion) that he enjoyed and said he loved drifting it on the Elephant and Castle roundabout.
I bet the back of that van was busy with Hunt as the owner. It must have gone through some rear springs over the years! Paul_M3 said:
Nico Hulkenburg appears to be a Porsche fan. He turned up in a 911 GT2 RS at his stand-in race recently.
I think he had it from Porsche after winning Le Mans. Nick Tandy also got his hands on one and if memory serves me correctly then I believe they were personalised to each driver somehow to commemorate their success which is a nice touch.TwentyFive said:

There is one standout in this, a man who only entered one GP: Andre Lotterer. He's a total petrolhead. Anyone who uses a Sport Quattro as his daily driver has to be a proper enthusiast:
