I usually think of Ruedelsarte as my destination for air-cooled VW and Porsche pics, so these shots of Gordinis at the Coupes de Printemps at Montlhéry in March caught me pleasantly off guard. There’s something about the particular shade of French Racing Blue that Gordini used in the 1950s that is so enchanting; not quite as dark as Bugatti’s blue, not quite as light as Gulf Blue, not quite as saturated as Mexico Blue. I ask you: is this the perfect blue?

I’m such a sucker for vintage transporters.

Wonderful, melancholy shot. A lone minder waiting for the day to start.
Great shot. A recent article in one of our leading vintage racing mags named roy Salvadori as the oldest living F1 driver from the ’50s–but a still living regular Gordini driver is older. MJ
