I always thought the 79 was one of the best looking F1 cars ever.  :good:

Me too,but I'd put the 69 Matra and Dan's Eagle in there too.
I liked Jackie's 73 Tyrell too

I had a toy of the 72D that I loved.  It's the first toy I have memories of, and it was chipped and chewed to hell.  That was my idea of what a race car is supposed to look like.
