Very cool...next time you cats are in Philly you must check out:

http://www.simeonefoundation.org/

It's a pleasure to have this museum right down in Philly! I took the kids there a few weeks ago and it was cool...some of the coolest and rarest LeMans and other vintage racers in the world. Dr. Simeone has an extraordinary collection.

Good videos, thanks for posting them.

If you haven't already, recommend that you read Stirling Moss, the Authorized Biography, by Robert Edwards. Great history of the era, and Moss took photos himself his entire career, so lots of great shots.

Then, we can do a road trip to the Goodwood Festival next year and have a meet. I think half the cars in the first video have been there at past meets. Stewart, Moss, and many others are driving there every year.

I grew up reading Motorsport magazine in the 60's, every three or so months, when a bulk package of them arrived from relatives in the UK. Great memories. That was when Jackie Stewart was the new guy.

One of the best movies from that era was the one that Ford put together corporately to document their Lemans efforts over 3 years. I used to have access to it on 16 mm, but no longer. It was incredible, with the early GT40s, through all the variations. I would love to get a modern copy of that.

That brings up some great memories of my childhood when I got a circuit-24 for Christmas 1965, I was 6. The following few years I kept adding more tracks and cars to it. I wonder if it is still at my parent's somewhere collecting dust.
