    Speaking of what can’t Adam complain about, other than this humiliation to his car & Marque, and Lucas electrics of course, how can you complain about an E-type Jaguar. Race pedigree well beyond its production days (both before and after), a gorgeous design, and possibly the most visually attractive twin-cam engine ever built!

    The Vette that passed Adam at 5:09 completely outclassed the field. The 935s had nothing for him and halfway thorough he was short shifting coming out of the final hairpin. The BMWs, Datsuns and 914s? Forget about it!
