Very nice selection of cars there, many of my all time favourites

I think I can top that; I was watching this beauty race at Le Mans this weekend; not sit prettily in Lord M's garden!

Nick, Thanks. Nice shots.

Sorry not able to top that, do you have more pictures?

aaaaaahhh...huh huh....come to Butthead. Nice 917, but the two Fords are equally as sweet. Was P1076 at LeMans?

I'm guess that's the Targa Florio GT40? Yes is the answer; it appeared in two of its three races, not the last. The 'Plateau 4' race was a GT40 festival; 7 of them out at the front running over 180mph on the quick section after Mulsanne corner. The next group were three Cobra GT's.

Most of the post-war classes included Porsches, I saw 356s, 550RS's, RS61, 904's, 904/6's, 906's, 914/6, 907's, 908/3, 935K3's, 911T/R, 911R, 911RS, 911RSR 2.8 and 3.0, and 936's, all racing hard at one of the fastest road circuits in the world.

Four 917's (count 'em; four, at ~$3m/each) practised for the Plateau 5 race, two Gulf cars, and Martini and Salzburg 917K's. To see the Salzburg car come over the Dunlop Bridge at dusk, down the new S bends, and then wriggle under power existing Tetre Rouge onto the Mulsanne made the hairs on my neck rise up!

A friend I travelled with is the photographer. The last I heard he was working through the 500+ shots he'd taken, I'll post a link to the album once he's sorted.

Attending that event is on my "bucket list". Great photos!

Thanks, but I should have linked to the slideshow.....
