Welcome to the forum, Owain.
Looking at this question,another way - It's funny how success turns an "average looking" car into a good-looking one, isn't it?Last edited by D-Type; 24th February 2017 at 14:45.

Thanks chaps - it's nice to be here.
The last Arrows cars were very neat too: the 1998 (with Arrows' own engine) was sharp in styling and jet black, while those of 1999-2002 gained an orange-and-black livery that was very striking, courtesy of their sponsor.
I saw one on show at Gloucester rugby ground, because Tom Walkinshaw owned Gloucester RFC for a while.

Welcome Owain. I have to agree about the Arrows cars. In am era where cars were becoming quite similar the Arrows of their later years really stood out.

'Curious...what's "rubbish" about them? I've met two people that own them and have praised them. How can one go wrong with the ubiquitous IL6.
Anyhow, on the racing front, drivers using them took 1st through 5th in the 1981 IMSA Camel GT (GTO) Series. And BMW 1st, 3rd and 3rd in the '81- '83 IMSA GTO Makes Championship using them. That isn't rubbish to me."Those were the days my friends. We thought they'd never end..." jimclark

Jim Richards JPS liveried BMW 635csi group c Aussie racer.
I know 635's were quite prolific in touring car racing, but this car in its original spec, with that paint, looked and sounded stunning.
It's highest placing in original spec was 9th, before being heavily upgraded.
I do have a picture of it at silver stone but can't upload it!

The one that comes to mind for this 14 y.o. (at the time, '68) looked fast. 'Was fast (Joe Leonard on pole, Graham Hill along side for the 500). 'Just wasn't allowed to win (as wasn't the '67 Wallis designed turbine car and Jim/Lotus in '65) by the dinosaurs at USAC (United States Auto Club, the sanctioning body). 'Ahead of it's time......the Lotus 56 (4wd, turbine powered Indy car.
Leonard's #60
