Long Tail Aero — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Nimrod NRA C2 represents the early 1980s moment when British constructors believed Cosworth DFV reliability and long-tail aerodynamics could challenge factory Group C programmes before Porsche's 956 dynasty hardened into inevitability. Nimrod Racing Automobiles carried Aston Martin-adjacent heritage and privateer romance — number 24, LONG-TAIL config, and a specification sheet that reads like an honest engineer's confession. The Aston Martin DB3S represents the bridge between Aston's early DB3 programme and the DBR1 that would finally win Le Mans outright in 1959. Its long-tail bodywork, inline-six reliability, and British Racing Green identity made it a consistent Sarthe contender through the mid-1950s while Jaguar and Ferrari traded outright honours.
