“of which 42 survive”

Yep. About right, Keith. Cameron Millar made around half a dozen.

Team Pescarola just announced that they will be running a Peugeot 9X9 in the WEC, so they’ll be on Le Mans as well


I think it will be in 2024.

It's nice to have customer cars, it's more liveries for modelling, factory teams can sell off or rent out a one year old chassis unless it's a new build sale.
Looking forward to getting the Pesca brand back to the Sarthe.

The Hillman minx begat the Sunbeam Rapier, they were quite sporty in racing and rallying back in the day, strangest choice I've seen on track is probably a Moskvitch running in touring cars, about 1972, Tony Lanfranchi at Oulton park I think.

That reminds me of an incident told to me by a good friend who has provided material for this Forum before. He was with his wife one weekend sitting in a pub garden in East Sussex (a late lamented King & Barnes establishment) when an enormous Edwardian racing car thundered past, its driver dressed in the full gear with goggles, reversed cap and trench coat to the astonishment of the clientele. It was never seen again.

Shades of "The Ghost Train"!

Do you refer to photographs or conjure the image from memory, Laurence?

Good question, Mark. I suppose a little of both. Most daubings from memory but I have to dip into photos occasionally, as the grey matter slows down. With cars I love most I never refer to photos, unless it's to check a decal. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for answering 🙂
