Best looking FF1600 car?

[Andrew Kitson]

Ok, there have been hundreds of different FF1600 models built, but which to you is the best looking?

As a kid I remember being a spectator at Brands for the very first Formula Ford race in 1967 and like many of us here have seen many hundreds of FF races since. I also attended most of the Festivals, including the early Snetterton ones. So I reckon I could have seen virtually every type of FF model ever built - I'm not including Zetecs here - they are not proper FF's IMO!

For me, the simple elegant lines of the 1978 PRS RH01. The car pictured below is the works car of Bernard Devaney - the 'gofer' to this car at the time one Trevor Carlin, as his uncle founded PRS! I was the Royale 'gofer' same year.

So, what's yours?
