Great pics, Lou.
There's something really cool about riveted panels.

A couple of great hi-res pics there, Lou. I'm taking a copy of these. Very helpful in my model making. Cheers

Well now, that's really cool. I have a Wheaties box with Jeff Gordon's mug on it, I would gladly trade for a Jim Clark cereal box.

  I don’t have either, a lotus enthusiast posted it on Instagram and I thought it was worth a mention.

A day late...      Happy Birthday Jochen Rindt    4/18/42 - 9/5/70

Grab some popcorn, and watch this excellent Sky tribute.
 Great interviews, race footage and career insights!
