Most Admired Car...

Post by Bhart »

Last weekend's Silverstone Classic event - The Stuart Graham Scarf and Goggles trophy has been awarded to the BMW 635 CSi as the most admired car of the weekend!
It came all the way from New Zealand to be driven by Jim Richards who originally raced the car in 1985 to win it's first title in the Australian Group A specification.

Indeed. That looks amazing.

Makes me wonder why our cars aren't worth a fortune, what with all that admiration, heritage, racing glory etc [-o<

One of the best presented race cars to ever grace a track. I always found it amusing that the BMW could equal or better highly developed local V8s (Holden and Ford). Lucky enough to be around in those days and spoke to "Gentleman" Jim a couple of times. Just a regular bloke !
