World Champion
Goodwood Festival 1996
The only time Porsche entered F1 was in the 1500cc era, from 1961-1966. Love this car.
Probably the most photographed Ferrari GTO of all, helped enormously by its celebrity owner - and also that Nottinghamshire numberplate!
Fast forward to 2012 and a visit to one of the most amazing car museums in the UK. Reputed to be the largest private collection in the country, it has some amazing exhibits, ranging from the totally unrestored and now quite tatty looking F1 BRM H16, as last run as an F5000 car, to a mint F1 Lotus 33.
The remaining exhibits are less sporting, but fascinating, with over 150 cars (including 4 steam cars), a good number of motor bikes (including a Vincent Black Shadow) and some amazing pedal cars. It was only after paying our $18 entry fee that we saw the notice declaring that you aren't allowed to take photographs inside the well laid out halls!!!! Each hall is policed by a volunteeer to make sure you don't take any. Many cars are very run of the mill but a great display and worth a visit.
The museum is at Caister, near Yarmouth, on the east coast.
