The 70s onwards brought hideous sponsors colour schemes, and the death of the gentleman driver. Each to his own, I suppose.

It certainly would be a boring world if we all liked the same.....
Yes, the pic is a Porsche Carrera 6 / 906. Here is a couple of unadorned 908s, courtesy of conceptcarz.com, although my preference is for the little 'flunders'. I have heard the 906 & 908s referred to as the 'white racers', which I believe is because the works cars were predominantly white, rather than traditional silver?
