I was very fortunate to assist with the install of some of the Formula One cars – some little facts occured to me as we moving them into place:
The BRM P160 was the heaviest beastie:

The Williams FW14B was the widest – very thoughtful moments as to which path to take it from the lift to the gallery…

The lovely Lotus 16 is the most elderly – 1958, with the 2006 McLaren MP4-21 being the youngest whippersnapper

And the car that required the least amount of manoeuvring around was another of my favs – the Cooper T51. In fact it went around the corner past Inspiration Station in one go – a treat!
