Thanks Chris!
Therein lays a story....
I live about 5 miles from what was the BRM factory at Bourne... which is in the middle of nowhere....
As a very young child, I was regularly treated to visits to see the BRM F1's roll out of the factory to head off for events...
So I grew up in the early 70's on a diet of listening to the great wins of the '70's Marlboro BRM...with Beltoise at the helm...
Along with this I was indoctrinated with a pathalogical hatred of all things Ferrari!
So what a logical step it was to follow through on Beltoise' previous history in the Matra at Le Mans..
While digging in to this subject as an obsessed child, I came across this marvellous machine called a GT40 from a couple or three years earlier.... it was stunningly good looking, incredibly fast, and best of all... was giving the Ferrari's a good bashing on their own stomping ground...
What more could a boy want!
And from that day on, I has been a complete fanatic on the subject of the fabulous Forty!
