Very interesting stuff. Thanks Jenny. Looking forward to part two.
“so why did I think that Colin Chapman‘s Lotus 49 was the first car to use the engine as a stressed member”
Because Colin Chapman told us!! – although the BRM H16 engine was used as load bearing in both BRM and Lotus designs using the engine.
lol:) I thought someone was going to tell me that I can’t believe everything I read on the internet…you also can’t believe everything car designers say,,,
I used to admire Chapman but after the DeLorean revelations I am not so sure.
Forgot to say in my original comment – excellent article much enjoyed reading about one of my favourite cars.
Great read. Eagerly awaiting pt 2. Always had a soft spot for Lancia, my dad had one when I was a nipper.
Hi Jennie – really good to see you back amongst us – I’ve missed your erudition… 😉
I totally agree!
Thanks:)
I think that’s my favourite-looking GP car
The Lotus 49 has always been my favourite but…I took one look at this one and just HAD to write about it…
Oh that car is fine! Sex on wheels 😆
But it’s not black… 🙂 🙂
Exceptions are there to be made, my friend.😆
OK, I feel like I’ve been commenting too much so hopefully last one today.
Here is a Spanish version of the Fangio documentary, for @Taflach!
It’s not possible to comment too much:) Thanks for the video!
