You were not at Le Mans in 2003?
I was. Spent some of the race in their pits but the tension was too much.
Bentley Motors: Bentley wins Le Mans

[Doc Henry]

No Peter I am not at Le Mans in 2003
Thanks for the link .
So Bentley wins at Le Mans race. I think that english cars are wellknown like german cars specially for sportive models.
One mark gets his reputation if he wins race like le Mans or other wellknown race and it needs some patience and a long time before !

Doc,
Bentley and Lotus for you. Unfortunately mine is the little yellow one.

Pete
Nice yellow car : it looks like a Triumph isn't ?

Pete -

Regarding performance, one shoild never say "unfortunately" about a Lotus Elan. Of course reliability is a bit less stellar.

pete - Lotus Elans had incredible performance at that time. Dodgy doughnuts were a problem but I suspect they are better made now. I had one of my big frights in an Elan when I hit a patch of ice going round a bend and flew off the road through an open farm gate Phew !.

Tony,
I binned my doughnuts for CVs a while back- drives like a proper car now. My big scare was in an Imp on a rally, 360 barrel roll, landed back on wheels and finished the event, first in class. That was the end of my competition career; far better to take the photos!

and this picture with this driver very centred on the race
Do you recognize the mark ..... british car ?
Thanks for looking and reply
