Great vid!!!Does the car still exist?

Not only does it still exist, it still runs!  It will be featured at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed next month.  Hopefully, some of our members across the "pond" will attend and post pics.

... and it's "twin brother" is at the Simeone Museum in Philly. It runs as well. The Museum featured it a couple of weeks back in Part II of their LeMans demonstration days.

Cool to see a 36-year-old CS in a movie instead of just still photos.

He sure looked worn out at the end of the race.
