The first 'T's were available in maroon and dark blue. The car became cheaper year on year due to economies of scale and improved efficiency, including, finally, reducing the available colours to one. Black.

The VW Beetle was the first car to be offered with halogen lamps.

The first production car with pop up headlights I can only think is the MR2, but I know it's not. I'm going on a whim here and say its a lotus?

name the f1 team for whom ayrton senna made his debut, and by what name were they known when they scored their first f1 win?

 

[andy_wrx]

Ah, that would be Toleman (in 84? 85 ?) & Benneton, respectively.

- remember that wet Monaco that year with people crashing off all over the place and then them stopping it just before he caught Prost for the lead ?

- I wasn't there, but I was at Donington (93 ?) when he did that stupendous opening lap in the Euro GP and passed practically everybody at Redgate and Old Hall

lost the silly bugger (prost) the title as the race stopped early and half points awarded (4 1/2 for the win instead of 9) and went on to lose the championship to nikki lauda by 1 point.

senna was peerless in the wet. you can see who is hamilton's inspiration can't you? mansell it ain't!
