Earlier this week in the PostWarClassic.com magazine...
We scrolled through our pages and had 4 criteria, about what the car should be. Please correct us if you think differently. The criteria are: the colour needs to be yellow, it definitely has to be a convertible, the car needs to be suitable to transport eggs (and family), and the car (or make) has to do something with resurrection
As with so many motoring frivolities, several colours used on cars originate from racing. Originally there were different colours to distinguish racing cars from different countries. The Italians were red, the Germans white, the British used racing green and America had white with two blue stripes over the length of the car, to name just a few and perhaps the best known ones. And the Belgian racing colour: yellow.
Now, speaking of rare opportunities… Those who have always dreamt of a historic Le Mans racer of days when the cars entered at the circuit of La Sarthe didn’t all look similar – this is your chance. A Lotus Elite – a beautiful car on its own if you ask us – that made it to Le Mans is coming up for sale soon.
What's its story? Well. You’d expect it to be impossible to loose sight of a six-wheeler car, over 18 feet long and equipped with a 1760hp strong 27-litre Merlin V12 engine from a BOAC Argonaut airliner under its fibreglass two-seat roadster body. However, it appears to be right the case with this wacky Special built by Paul Jameson in the mid-1970s.
Libby Edeleman used to be a fashion editor for Harper's Bazaar magazine, but also a woman who is passionate about cars. A rare thing? Oh no. She found out there are an awful lot of women like herself: “Why do we typically think that only men love cars?” She wrote a book about it.
