Nice photos Dave.... ah, yes, the FW14B.... the best ever F1 car.... I was at Silverstone in 1992 to see Mansell win the British Grand Prix in this car, the year he won the championship... it was just streets ahead of the other cars, he blew Senna away that day, awesome!

1999 Jaguar XJR V8 Supercharged

1992 Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI
2003 Mercedes SLK 200 Kompressor

Thanks for taking the time, Dave. Some cracking photos there. I saw that carbon EB110 at Goodwood about ten years ago and it's haunted my dampest dreams ever since :o
