I'm pretty sure chassis 21 is actually #19, and it was offered for significantly less than GTO or TestaRossa money earlier this year.

The Speedster is rumored to be in France, but even though I have met quite a few Speedsters enthusiasts here, I haven't come across this one just yet.

Problem is, they made too many for them to be as valuable as others. But it is one of my favorite Ferraris ever.

From an insider's POV, the green GTO is far from being the most valuable one of its kind. A car like Violati's 250 GTO which is in the hands of the same owner for over 40 years is definitely a notch up.

What about this one?

Because I don't have a motorcycle driving license.

The major issue, to me, lays in the placement of spectators. It should be common sens not to put spectators at the exterior of a tight curves at the end of fast straight. Would you put spectators in the chicanes in the Hunaudières? That is plain stupid.

I spoke with a good friend of mine working for a major classic sports car company involved in shooting the movie, they are the original cars. However, they are driven by the firm's crew drivers (former F1 mechanics from the era) and not by regular stuntmen (if there is anything such as a regular stuntman...)

I had the chance to see and hear the car last week (it was displayed on the Volvo booth during the Techno Classica in Essen), not only the level of the resto-mod is incredibly high, but the car also run perfectly and is actually even more stunning in person.

Interesting that the Jalopnik crew chose the 205 GTI... I would personnally go for its evil sibling, the 309 GTI 16. 16 valve, 160 hp and only a few hundred pounds to carry. It was actually a better car than the 205.

No, it's not just because I drove one this weekend.

Georges Hamel, a.k.a. GeoHam.

The Bugatti T35 A. Even though they had sold their T13 race car to the public before, the success both on track and in sales makes to me the T 35 and its derivatives the first supercar.

I'll go on a historical limb out here, but I'll say John Mecom vs Ford. Yes, it's a little of the Chevy vs Ford story, but on a much deeper level.

Almost completely agree with you. The 25th screams its 80s design, the previous ones didn't as much.

Beautiful story and great research on the backgrounds on the Group B era.

I would go for coachworkers if they were considered true car makers, but I'll go for Delage. They had some of the most beautiful cars, keeping the French design alive. And that Pourtout bodywork...

The VW T1 isn't too bad either: Split-window, Splittie, Bully, Combi, Bus, Samba, Samba bus... Not to mention all its followers...

Because Lambo doors.

The VW Porsche Rennstall, complete with its 550 Spyder.
