This isn't a Pur Sang replica. This is an original car... In fact it is one of the earliest surviving Type 51 known to exist today...

I knew. This is some serious engine + compressor.

WE wanted to race, but the race officials wouldn't let us.

@@Terryorisms Well, its ok. Monaco is unforgiving, every mistake sends you into the wall there. And not only would it be a shame to smash such a nice car - its also dangerous for the driver. Racing those cars was not like racing todays cars with all the safety features in them. And Monaco in particular has killed a lot of good drivers - even up into the 90s. On a track with lots of space all around it may be a different thing, but not Monaco.

@@petebeatminister Yes, as a young kid, the earliest racing fatality I ever saw portrayed was the burning alive of Lorenzo Bandini, 1967, Monaco F1. Road & Track or Car & Driver printed a pic of him lying in the road on fire. They wouldn't show that these days. On this Monaco Historique video I noted the harbor area where he crashed, just before the tunnel, and that it's long since been smoothed over and catch-fenced.

for better handling, avoid understeer and for help the driver rotate steering wheel. because at the time car not have precision steering system like car in year 80's or 90's

@@dianrendra06 Ahah. Thanks.

@@dianrendra06 I would think in the wet , those cars would lose grip quite easily..very narrow compared to modern cars

@@dianrendra06 notice something else? that front brake cable does not pull once in that circuit...
