SL should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I don't belieive you two, not a single mention of a DB5. Must be one of the best cars ever built. I must admit to a liking of all Aston's. Used to have a girlfriend who lived just outside Newport Pagnell, almost wrote my car off a few times passing the factory looking at all the gleaming DB's lined up.
The ultimate must be the Vantage that was race prepared and hurled around by Gerry Marshall at AMOC meets, did this this enter Le Man in the mid 70's ??

As for the 4 1/2 Bentley, well I take my hat off to those guy's who raced them, scares me just looking at those skinny tyres amd drum brakes. Came across one en route to Le Mans about 8 years ago, he must have had it wound up on in top gear he blasted passed us, we were a wee bit (about 20mph) above the limit. Some sight. But are these cars not discussed in the Truck & HGV Drivers Forum ???
