Clearly it’s the Lancia :roll_eyes: amateur

Heathen.

In your pre edit link, I would go for the 196.

Do you mean the 1966?

But isn’t it unrealistic to try to sell all those old motors for more than they cost 30 or 40 years ago? Dealer scum :rofl:

Even if you don’t drive them I’d much rather look at one of these Ferraris than a shitty Van Gogh, Rothko etc.

They certainly don’t make them like they used to.:heart_eyes:

Perfect. It’s even a right hooker

No one seems to say ‘I only want to get back what I paid for it’

You’d probably struggle to cover the cumulative repair bill if you’ve done more than 50 miles a year

Valkyrie?

Yes, amazing aircraft although one prototype had a sad end when a photo shoot went very wrong.

Not a beautiful as the above image but still stunning to my eyes.

BA 747 painted in BOAC livery of the same era as Apollo 11 along with Red Arrows at Fairford Airshow.

Fairford used to be a great show, I remember Concorde doing a low flypast and setting off every car alarm on the car park

It is a beauty - much nicer than the current livery :+1:

Visited twice in the early 2000’s and it was great especially seeing flypasts by a B52 and also B1B. Also the Russian Su29 I think with thrust vectoring, which was just scary to watch.
