If you’ve never been to the Silverstone Classic<\/a> and you like beautiful old\u00a0racing cars, you are missing out horribly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week we were treated to an array of cars that had us aching for a time in motorsport we never knew.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8875\"<\/a>There were a lot of highlights dressed in steel and finely worn leather – but for us the highlight of highlights was a couple of laps in the E-Type Roadster lightweight pictured here.\u00a0The smell, the sound and the pure, snarling energy of this half century old steed was something we’ll never forget.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8871\"<\/a>We loved the presence of the original M3 Evo<\/em><\/p>\n

And this is just a tongue tip taster of the main event, which takes place between 25-27 July and includes, as well as an incredible lineup of full blown racing action from generations of motorsport – keynote celebrations of Maserati’s centenary – and the 50th anniversary of Ford’s Mustang.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8882\"<\/a>It’s so nice to be able to get up close and personal with these beautiful cars – looking, touching and feeling the genuine passion these incredibly visceral machines can evoke.<\/p>\n

These sorts of events make the exclusive and excluding mainstream F1 series look like the sanitised circus it really is.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t
