But from the number of posts it seems few are aware of his status in our world . EB should have been knighted for the T70 alone - the car you wouldn't leave alone with your teenage daughter- if any car can leer this one can. RIP Eric .

RIP

It was that sort of stuff that first hooked me in as at a kid. Beautiful and brutal in equal measure which is a rare combo and to me the most appealing.

Hard to watch this and say you'd buy anything else with that lotto win!

First saw a T70 in the wild in 1968 . at Oulton Park and driven by Denny Hulme.In a world of Mk1 Cortinas and Morris 1100s it was a revelation .
