Good to see both of Nigel Webb's cars in action. Great shots - he'd like to see them I'm sure.

Totally agree, who was driving the D Type with the orange lid?

One question we were wondering, what are the ACO entry fees for Classic LM?

To start with the event isn't run by the ACO but by Petersport. The actual entry fee was 4,950€ this year but that is just the start; you have to consider fettling the car, changing to a longer rear axle for the Mulsanne, transport of yourself and cars from the UK, accomodation, food, mechanic et al. All in, entrants were talking about £12,000. Now consider the Chris Lunn Lister which managed just two laps on Friday and burned out a piston, also Stefan Ziegler's D-type that went through two clutches and didn't do too many laps. It come to a very expensive experience!

Hi Lowdrag,

Cool pics!

Any pictures of other Jaguar? especially of the XK120.
And also of other E Type, especially the red #52 E Type which finished fifth and of the belgian blue coupe?

Thanks.

[lowdrag]

Your wish is my command.



I like this one. Count the rivets!


And this one for some reason seemed to have escaped me.

[ERA]

Thanks a lot!
And especially for the amazing pics of D Type fighting !

Nice pics Lowdrag

Here's a Jag one I took from the pitwall on Saturday afternoon...



And me (the passenger) from the laps on Saturday morning (I had the white tee shirt over my face so I could breathe at 150mph without a windscreen ) ...

Nice photos! That's Melvin Floyd at the wheel of the Robin Batt E-type. What's the base of the Ecurie Ecosse?

[Longers]

Not sure but "the base" felt pretty firm to me with the cylinder for the fire extinguisher system underneath my right thigh!!

Stunning pictures.

I would love to go to the Classic at least once and see the cars in action for real.

It's a Revival built car, a later and improved version of mine which is a Ram/LR Roadsters version. It was racing at Spa the week before the Le Mans classic and the driver is very quick in it.

Anyone mind if I pinch the pics of no. 39? Robin Batt is my sister's father-in-law, I did a photoshoot with the Jag a few months ago. Such a gorgeous machine!
