Bonus points for guessing the car the photo of the delta was taken from

Looks like the interior of a 50's Italian saloon, they tended to have that type of window surround. Not a Fiat, and doesn't look like an Alfa colour, so I'll guess Lancia.
The orange Veteran looks like a GN

Ill take a classic any day over the newer stuff

If it's from the 50's it's most likely an Aurelia or an Appia.. hard to say which as I've not got one at hand to check out

It was still there when I left the preview, I reckon it was only there for the one night.

jozi

Pity I didn't know before today it was there, probably won't see it!

Must have also missed the Cineworld email about the preview. Was it any good?

Yes I really enjoyed it,the sound of the engines was amazing:D Also after recently watched Steve Mc Queen Le Mans 1971, I have a lot of respect for those driver's, Real men driving real cars in very different times.

They've put trays under the rear to (presumably) pick up any oil. If it was a 'Tina, they'd probably be up front!

Is that the one where they strapped big movie cameras onto F1 cars? I saw it late one night about 15 years ago on an old 4:3 TV.

EDIT: just looked it up. Something completely different.

I'm going with kit car.

Anyone lucky enough to have real one wouldn't put those GT40 decals on it.

I've seen a few of those replicas in the UK and they are lovely all the same.

Think that is the way this was also filmed. I heard about the film after watching The Grand Tour in a episode where James May drives the actual Porsche 917 that won Le Mans and also features a race with Richard "Dickie" Attwood who won Le Mans in 1970.

sligojoek

Maybe that was the film I saw but I thought it was F1.

Watched this trailer but not getting deja vu from it.

sligojoek

I found it. THis is the one I was thinking of.

In 1966, John Michael Frankenheimer directed his Oscar-winning masterpiece, The film had all the elements, from the love trio that was pictured with the background of the roaring engines and the racing footage, to become a reference to all the Formula one movie that came after it.
The film won three Oscar Academy Awards for its technical achievement
The Grand Prix success paved the way for many attempts to show the epic battles of the racing tracks, they were divided into Biographical, fictional and documentary movies.
Documentary movies showed real footages of the races and the drivers. Thus, they are considered to be taped archives to Formula one history.

Mods: sorry for derailing the thread. I'll leave it at that.

^ love those Citroens, great prescence..and the seats!

have one here in this batch, spotted in Greystones though it appears in 'soft focus' :P
re the Beetle (seen in Bray) - it has the small oval vents in the front wings, does this indicate an earlier model, I'm not that au fait with the model history beyond the oval rear windows were on the earliest models..

some day i'll get around to posting actual pics and not links..
