On This Day in History…

SCX MG A 1955 Le Mans - Ken Miles and John Lockett
This SCX model is of one of three MG EX 182 prototypes entered into the 1955 Le Mans 24 hour race. These prototypes were very close to the first production version of the MGA, unveiled later in the year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The #41 car was driven to twelfth place overall by Ken Miles and John Lockett, though the entire event was overshadowed by the worst tragedy in motorsport history.

Policar Ferrari 412P Maranello Concessionaires #23 Le Mans 24h 1967 - Richard Attwood and Piers Courage
The 412P was Ferrari's customer sports prototype for 1967 - an upgraded 330 P3 underneath, with the '67-style P4 bodywork on top. The Maranello Concessionaires car ran just outside the top ten at Le Mans in 1967, through to just before dawn on the Sunday. The Ferrari's oil pump broke and the car was retired when the team's full allocation of oil was used up.

12-06-1971Jabe Thomas's Plymouth Roadrunner
Carrera Plymouth Roadrunner "No.25"
The 1971 Motor State 400 at Michigan International Speedway was one of forty-eight races on the calendar that year, and Jabe Thomas' red and gold #25 Roadrunner in took a sixteenth place finish, twelve laps behind winner Bobby Allison. With no factory backing or big-time sponsors, the likes of Jabe Thomas played a different game to the mega-stars of the sport - they scraped together the funding to run as many races as they could, drove to preserve their cars and to pick up points and prize-money.

Driven by Dickie Attwood and Herbie Müller, this car was one of the three John Wyer Automotive Porsche 917's that enterd the 1971 Le Mans 24 hours.The cars had been running 1-2-3 through Saturday evening, but the night was a disaster for the team. First, the #17 lost an hour in the pits, then leader Jackie Oliver lost half an hour. The #19 Porsche followed having lost fifth gear. By dawn, Attwood and Müller had battled back up to second place, but could not close the gap on the leading Martini Porsche 917k. That's how it finished. The iconic Gulf Porsches missed out on a final chance to win at Le Mans.

The story of Ferrari 512 chassis #1028 begins as a 512S Spyder built for NART and delivered to Luigi Chinetti in January 1971. The car was immediately sold to New York entrepreneur and gentleman-driver David Weir. NART rebuilt the engine and the car was entered in the Monza 1000kms, but the car didn't make the start. The car was then converted to the 'M' spec by Ferrari and was made ready for Le Mans, where it finished in a remarkable fourth place.

Ex-Matra drivers Henri Pescarolo and Jean-Pierre Beltoise shared the #1 Inaltéra, qualifying twelfth and - after early teething problems with an oil leak - drove a steady race to eighth overall and first in the GTP class. The #2 car - driven by Rondeau himself, alongside Jean-Pierre Jaussaud & Christine Beckers - qualified in seventeenth and also had early problems in the race. Lengthy pit stops - including two to change shock absorbers - dropped the second car back, eventually finishing in twenty-first place.

Scalextric Tyrrell P34 Swedish Grand Prix 1976 - Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler
The significance of the 1976 Swedish Grand Prix is it's the only Formula One World Championship race to have been won by a six-wheel car. The Tyrrell 'Project 34' was a truly revolutionary design and raced successfully in 1976 and 1977. Designed by Derek Gardner, the aim was to give the car better aerodynamic flow over the front wheels. The four ten-inch wheels gave a similar contact patch to a pair of standard wheels and tyres.

Rebuilt for Le Mans in 2008, the Aston Martin finished top GT1 car in the official test day at La Sarthe. In the race the fans were treated to a spectacular run to the chequered flag... the 009 Aston holding on to cross the line in thirteenth overall and first in class.
