  1. There’s some red ones, a very pretty black one, a grey one, another black one, and a really neat dark green model in the background.

  4. Let me see…from R to L

    XK150

    CG’s warhorse
    Jaguar E series 1 OTS (car #25)
    Alfa Romeo Giulietta
    Lancia Aurelia (I think)
    Can’t tell what the white convertible is -another AR spider perhaps?

  10. MD, you could….dunno if they still offer as zoomy a model as they did back in the day!

  11. MD, from Wikipedia (your favorite source of info! 😉 ):

    “Shelby struck a deal with the Hertz Corporation to produce a special line of GT350s for rent which were subsequently sold to the public after their rental-car lives were finished. These “GT350H” cars are quite rare and sought-after today, with some examples selling for more than $120,000. Shelby produced 1000 of these cars: 800 in Raven Black, and 50 each in Candy Apple Red, Wimbledon White, Sapphire Blue and Ivy Green. All Hertz cars featured gold LeMans stripes and rocker panel stripes. Early “Hertz” cars were available with four-speed manual transmissions until so many cars were returned from rental with burned and broken clutch assemblies that all of the later cars shipped to Hertz were equipped with an automatic transmission.[citation needed] Many were rented to use as production class cars at SCCA events, some were returned with different engines, holes where roll bars had been welded in, and other modifications to legally run on the track.”
