This past Sunday was the 70th anniversary of the birth of F1 at Silverstone in 1950.
As part of Sky Sports 1 coverage, they took three of Sterling Moss' cars out for a spin. What I thought was really cool was how the side panels for the Lotus, driven by Jensen Button, was in its Monaco configuration which meant the side panels were removed for cooling.
Try driving around these days with the driver so exposed!
Enjoy and I think there are three really cool model subjects here!

Here is the Lotus 18 with side panels removed...
Here's a topic for debate...
"The Lotus dominance in the 60s came with a terrible cost, the Chapman’s lightweight mantra resulted in cars with serious structural flaws. The number of top drivers injured or killed in Lotus cars was considerable – notably Stirling Moss, Alan Stacey, Mike Taylor, Jim Clark, Mike Spence, Bobby Marshman, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt, and Ronnie Peterson."
