What car triumphed the year you were born??

Few of these on the thread already, y'old buggers!
The great Jim Clark, 1965 WDC in what I think must be one of the best F1 cars on the eye as well as the track, the Lotus-Climax 33:
"Armed with the more powerful engine and fully developed 33 chassis, Jim Clark continued where he left off in 1963 by winning six of the ten rounds in 1965."
220bhp, 1500cc, driven by someone Jackie Stewart said of: "He was so smooth, he was so clean, he drove with such finesse. He never bullied a racing car, he sort of caressed it into doing the things he wanted it to do."
You've all seen it probably, but this is one of my favourite clips of him hustling around Oulton Park a few years earlier in 1963, double de-clutching, heel and toeing, manual gear changing as he went, like a hot knife through butter. Champion.
