My stepson (or former stepson...) did most of the aero work on the Silk Cut car when working for Tom Walkinshaw, alongside Ross Brawn.

Not sure if this link will work unless you're on Instagram, but this has to be the greatest road test footage of a Lamborghini Miura ever :lol:

If the link doesn't work, go to Simon Kidston's pages and take a look. It's brilliant.

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.
