The M1 was an interesting car, I think it was a Lamborghini that was taken over by BMW when the company got into bother.
I was lucky enough to work for a team that raced them in the procar series. Serious fun for a 20 something car nut being paid to work in GP support races!0 -
Was it the M1 or the 850 that was the first to have the "new" can-bus system in it?0

How terribly sad I must be. I was 0 at the start of the 70s and 10 at the end of them. I'm a girl. And I scored 9/10 (only the M1 threw me).:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls
