steve1 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 When was the last time you saw one of these? I nearly bought one in 1997 but, thankfully I bought a Saab 900 Classic instead! steve 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had on on the surveillance team I was on in the Police and I can honestly say it was hateful. In those days the dashboard and switchgear seemed to be shared with every other Jap car on the planet which made it completely devoid of any character at all. It was also a pig to drive, gutless, handled ok ish but was just not a nice car. Saab on the other hand! Well having owned three in the past I suppose I am biased. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Some scenes from the new 'le Mans 66' film... there are some inaccuracies, the usual Hollywood guff on certain events and a lot of timeline compression but I'm looking forward to seeing it. In some scenes real GT40s were used but those seen in the racing scenes are Superformance replica / continuation cars built roughly 95% to original spec.... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 A pity they didn't mock up a J-Type for the test scene after Le Mans. Christian Bale has a vague facial resemblance to Ken Miles, so that helped for me. As I said last week, we enjoyed it, so I bet you will too! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Steve Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Saw Le Mans 66 last night. Lots of historical mistakes, but a good effort. Leading players are excellent and the race scenes well shot I thought. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was developed in time to be tested at the Le Mans Test Weekend in 1966, following which it had further development and formed the basis of the Mk IV Ford which won LM 1967. The MkIV chassis numbers were all prefixed J, and I think the expensive and innovative honeycomb glued construction tubs had been built in one batch. I think a new Mk IV, with chassis J-9, has appeared in recent years. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Course, thanks Ian, and I should have twigged that Ken Miles dies whilst testing the J4 in August '66, barely weeks after the Le Mans win in the Mk2. Nipped out this morning and spotted this thirty year old BMW.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Seem like not much GCI in evidence. Filming the Bike jump. and not going easy on the DB5's. and more silver DB5's than you can shake a stick at. Could bring a return of (for those of a certain age) the bullet hole stickers?

5 C Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The winter sun didn't help the photography, but this beauty was in the car park yesterday at the Peterborough show. I had a lengthy chat with the owner later. It's one of two he owns, along with a few other British classics. Both Stags are in regular use and this one is clearly well looked after. It's in fabulous condition with no signs of any corrosion and the engine made a lovely burbling sound as it pulled out of the car park. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
