10. "History in the making:

Called "one of the most beautiful Grand Prix cars ever built", the Eagle / Gurney - Weslake V12 number '36' is racing through the Ardennes Forest to win the Grand Prix of Belgium in 1967, making this the first, and so far, only victory for an American in an American Grand Prix car in the modern era."

That was a quote, but one of my faves too after the Lotus 49 and Ferrari 156 Sharknose. Nice one Rosbif!!
