Here are the cars in our collection which J.M. Fangio drove during his career. Five time World Champion in Formula One, driving for Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz and Maserati. Fangio excelled in sports cars as well as grand prix cars. He is if not the best, one of the top two or three drivers ever to sit behind a wheel in motorsports competition. He is one of our racing heroes!

Endurance racing and the demands it places on both man and machine have a particular fascination for me. Le Mans and Daytona, the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Sebring, Spa and the Dundrod TT are important statements on not only making a car fast, but making it go fast for a long ways. You will find many notable endurance race winners in our collection, with an emphasis on the grand prize, Le Mans. We start the tour with the Jaguar race cars from through the 1950's.

PLEASE NOTE: From 1968 into the 1990's tobacco companies sponsored many significant race cars. We don't promote tobacco use, rather we stronly discourage it. However, we do promote historical accuracy, Old Irish Racing chooses
to display models in our collection as historically accurate as possible. While seeing a tobacco advert on a car gives me no more desire to go smoke than seeing a car makes me want to go
suck on its exhaust pipe. If tobacco (or alcohol) adverts on race cars offend you, please go look at nice pictures of bunnies and kittens on another site. Thank you!
