John that is a very valid point. I would largely fall into the same catergory as you against either James Shead or has co driven my car or Roger who currently does (but that was last season and it will be different this year!!), however the thread is straying off I think as I am not so interested in a front runner as what people think is going to outperform fiscally. They are normally the same but not always. GTA's have probably outperformed Lotus Cortina's fiscally but I think its fair to say L-C's are still quicker on the track.
Re the 250k for a Le Mans car I can think of several cars but admittedly not from the same era, Group C cars which competed and I saw a Pantera GR4 for sale for less which is really what got me thinking about the whole 60's/70's argument...
