Lotus 25
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_25

The Lotus 25 was a racing car designed by Colin Chapman for the 1962 Formula One season.[1] It was a revolutionary design, the first fully stressed monocoque chassis to appear in Formula One. In the hands of Jim Clark it took 14 World Championship Grand Prix wins and propelled him to his 1963 World Championship title. Its last World Championship win was at the 1965 French Grand Prix.

Lotus 18 was the first mid-engined car built by Lotus and was a marked improvement over Chapman's early and only moderately successful front-engined formula cars, the 12 and 16.

In poland right after loosening the abroad travel laws people would hack up engines to delete one or two cylinders and turn it into a cigarette smuggling container (yes, cigarette smuggling was extremely profitable back then).

^^^ Somewhat admirable Photoshop, but the horizontal stabilizers don't line up. Admirable because most people won't catch it as a fake. Fun idea, though.

Miller Gulf Special 1938-39

.....it had a mid-mounted 180cu in blown Miller ‘six’ motor, four-wheel drive, independent suspension, side-mounted fuel tanks and disc brakes – most of which are still seen on race cars today.....................

.........the Miller Gulf Special became the first rear-engined car ever to qualify for the 500.

After around 1,000 hours of work on the body, the 911 Targa was painted by hand in the same colour that it had before its delivery over 50 years ago – Polo Red. Because its new owner plans to drive the car regularly, a paint protection film was applied with a slight mattifying result. It's a process that requires no adhesive, so it can be removed in the future without residue.

The restored photos are in this article below.
