Must be hard when your eyes keep straying to the magnificent Numb Bus gleaming in the driveway, causing your every fibre to demand that you take it out for a drive

For me it has to be the Jordan 191, the first F1 car Schuey raced in (even though he only raced it for about 1 mile). It looks like a GP car should, rather than these go karts we have these days.



The 1993 Sauber looked the business too




while the 1991 Ferrari is a work of art - shame it was a bit of a dog though...!

(sorry - I'm too thick to work out how to post the pic I have of the 191....)

Sorry, it wasn't a F1 car just a beautiful race car, esp., in the long nose version with the c-type screen

The jordan 191 looks like a fomula ford with about 30 wings and foils attached
And the sauber looks like a formula vee circa 1980

You uncouth colonial type ! The 191 is an absolute stunner, big sticky tyres, big wings, wide track, open cockpit, not at all like the saftey driven baby carriers of today !

Rob

PS: I have caught mumps off one of the bloody kids - hence my bad mood...

My Granny taught me that a gentleman always respects a lady's opinion, she didn't tell me it would be this hard tho

You have some great picks. I agree on the 7UP Jordan [forgot that one] and the Sauber. If you notice, on my list there are a lot of cars that were dogs on the track, but beautiful standing still like the 1983 Ligier JS23. I saw that one up close and personal. Gorgeous! But as fast as we know Raul Boesel was as a driver, he could barely if ever qualify that thing. The Arrows A2 was the most amazing looking car as well, but Ricardo Patrese had the same issue. It was just too damn slow.

Chris

Yes, the Arrows A2 with the bodywork curving up into the rear foils was a beauty. You Know JV is right! The tyrrell p34 is kind of cute

Great choices, JayVee!

Wasn't the A2 [Arrows] an amazing car! Too slow, but amazing. And the Ferrari 312B...at the hands of Jacky Ickx, who I have particularly fond memories of, this car was a stunner. I read somewhere that Jacky Ickx refused to race after the Italian GP in 1970 at Monza, basically assuring that Jochen Rindt would be named World Champion posthumously, and Enzo Ferrari fired him.

Thats as I recall

Note the complete lack of anything within the last 10 years. It seems all the originality has gone out of design. Compare to the 70s,when we had 6-wheel cars,cars with huge fans attached-all within the rules and all brilliantly imaginative
