The Merc is a 57 aluminium body SL300 gulwing... pure pornography, they just dont get better than this!

The white car is a mazda cosmo 110b. gorgeous car.

the engine is a 26b...Ultimate engine!

If you need to ask who is on the bike then your just UNAUSTRALIAN!

CUT 7 is an E-Type

The XJ13 sits lower than a GT40! its 39 inches tall in total.

ahh, so its not an XJ13 its actually an XJ39!!

I originally thought it was a E-Type, but it looked so huge in the photo. I prefer the coupe to the soft top as well

Its not an XJ39... thats a different car altogether....

Ive got a mate who is a complete Jag nut, has had all sorts of realy rare Jags... His current project is a series 1 E-Type 2+2... I love the series 1 I think it was the best of the E-Types.

The sad thing is that more people know who Mick Doohan is than Jack Brabham. No discredit to Mick intended. He was definitely in a league of his own in his hay day. :cool:

Now your talking about a true legend of world motorsport! What Sir Jack did will never be replicated in formula 1 or probably any other top line motorsport again... Simply an amazing Icon!

Jack Brabham IS the greatest motor racing driver of all time. You can't dispute someone that designed, built, mechaniced on AND drove his own car to a world championship in Formula One. And that's really all there is to it. :)
