Old cars: roll bars?

I know which look I prefer! These two Astons were competing at Le Mans Classic 06.

FZ-30.

Cheers,
Pete.

Pete; You're right. These handgrips are a pain. #1 is almost too cool.

The old Astons (1956?) were so beautiful in their simplicity that the bars seem illegal.

Pete, the first is the prettier car, but the second is the better photograph - and is improved by cropping the 'bumph' to the left IMHO.

Thank you for posting two 'quality' car shots - keep 'em coming :-)

Thanks folks; I should have cropped the second one, the story was that I was asked to try to trace some of the orignal track (they keep changing it) and I think that is part of the old Esses in the background, can anyone confirm this? I'm far too young, of course.

Cheers,
Pete
