Detail Shots: Can you find all these details?

Can you spot the Oil Breather pipe on the supercharger?

The correct number of bolts holding the Klaxon diaphragm into the housing?

The sidelights?

The LeMans Quick Release Spinner on the Spare Wheel?

The Exhaust Hanger to stop the Fish Tail exhaust from hitting the Fuel Tank?

The Lap counter and map reading light for the 24 hour race?

The Car club badges?

The Front wings are closer to the wheels at the start and end but arch in the middle to allow for travel of the wheel over the rough race track?

The Handbrake Tensioner handel?

The Horn buttons on the racing wheel?

    Have been in cars with that kind of wrapping on the wheel, was scary at 15mph.

      @gekoch You should wait til you hit 100 in them!! These cars went down the at the time unchicaned Mulsanne Straight around the 21 mile unpaved (think gravel and rutted cart track) LeMans Circuit de la Sarthe. The Famous white house corner crash which involved all the team cars meant the remaining car continued to race having lost one headlamp in the smash and having no spare using a miners headlamp strapped to the windscreen to ensure it didn't break the 2 forward facing lamps for illumination rules during the pitch black night part of the race!!! Personally I find aside from the brutal acceleration modern 4 1/2's are very comfortable to ride in.
