    Congratulations Jim, that must have been very special indeed, especially for someone who knows the history of these cars so intimately.

    Bob Bondurant got in and said, hey, I think that's my sweat stain. It feels exactly the same. He asked if he could start it up, pumped the gas and fired it right up.

    Absolute magic! Well done Jim and congratulations. I'm so glad that that you feel as I do, that these magnificent machines should be driven and enjoyed instead of being on static display collecting dust in some museum. What a gorgeous sounding engine!

    In The April 2011 MotorSport there's a very nice article by Nigel Roebuck about his trip to Daytona to watch this years 24 and his coming upon 0846 with her NY 330 P4 licence plate.

    There was a little error in his article regarding which car David Clarke owned in the 70ies.

    I wrote him a note and he answered and made an interesting observation which I think is correct. Both of us think that David Clarke was unaware that his car was not the Daytona Winner.

    "Interestingly, I had a letter from Anthony Cazalet on the same subject. According to him, after Mike Parkes's accident at Spa in '67 (the weekend after Le Mans), Parkes recuperated in the home of his friend, Dick Wilkins. When he asked how he could repay him, Wilkins said he wanted one of the P4s. According to Cazalet, Parkes 'had one made out of the three cars shoved out the back of the factory, and Wilkins bought it for £5000 on the understanding that it would never be raced or sold. Wilkins sold it to David Clarke, after which I am not certain what happened to it'.

    Clarke was emphatic to Amon and myself that his car was the Daytona winner, and I don't think for a second he was knowingly lying to us. Much more likely is that he was hoodwinked into believing that by Wilkins at the time of sale - after all, simply by selling it Wilkins had broken his word to Parkes, so probably wasn't averse to giving it a false history, either"

    Seems a plausible explanation. Nice bit of background information, part of what makes these cars so interesting.

    That's your first meeting with Mr. Bondurant??

    Very nice gesture.......

    I toured the Firebird Raceway with some vintage guys bringing #20405 home.....
    They offered me a few laps, but I didn't want to break anything.

    As I left, they were swapping rear sway bars in some 250LM....a yellow one.
    I really need to scan the pics of that day. :D :D :D

    Awesome post, Mr. G.!!

    There was a 6 carb 275GTB there, too......all kinds of neat stuff.

    They were prepping for Pebble Beach.

    You can never forget that back in the day old race cars weren't worth very much and a lot of things happened that wouldn't have happened if anyone could have foreseen what the future would bring.

    So very true..and road cars as well...Like when I bought 3195GT SWB Calif for 11K and sold it for 14K and kept patting myself on the back for being such a smart investor.

    I like this one, from the Italian PM scandal coverage:

    "Chi dice donna, dice danno."
    "Say woman, mean damage."

    Has a nice ring to it!

    Have a great weekend!
