But surely 'twas ever thus. I remember being at race meetings in the late 60s/early 70s when D Types and 250Fs abounded because they were just cheap old racing cars.
(OK maybe I exaggerated a bit for effect, but they were a common sight to tiny me, which definitely made me blasé about them)
In later years the ex-TWR Jaguars found their way onto the Castle Combe Special GT grid.
The Masters series is just rectifying the situation as Club racing goes ever more spec car. That a wealthy amateur is able to buy and run these red blooded racers is marvellous and preserves them for when they do in turn become "historic".
