A CENTURY OF SPEED

What better way to celebrate our birthday than with our most valuable photoshoot ever, gathering together 100 years of Britain's fastest cars?

1980s FERRARI F40 - 201mph

And so we arrive at a notable a benchmark on this journey: the Ferrari F40 was the first production car to exceed the magic 'double-ton'.

1920S VAUXHALL 30-98 OE-TYPE - 100.7mph

A century ago, the very idea of a production car achieving 100mph would have been eulogised by schoolkids and automobile makers alike.

1970s FERRARI 365 GT4 BB - 188mph

Our first Ferrari entry here was not only the fastest car of the 1970s (based on the factory's own claim of 188mph), but a significant one because it marked the start of a mid-engined era for Maranello's 12-cylinder, two-seater cars that was to endure for nearly a quarter of a century.

1930s BENTLEY 8 LITRE - 107.3mph

Establishing the top speeds of pre-war cars is a fraught business that not only requires a solid and incontestable baseline for each nominee, but also an awareness that very few cars from high-end marques would look or perform in the same way after they left their respective factories.

1950s MERCEDES-BENZ 300SL - 163mph

They say that racing improves the breed, but in the case of the Mercedes-Benz 300SL ‘Gullwing'Coupé, it actually inspired its creation.

1940s JAGUAR XK120 - 132.6mph

Of all the cars gathered here today, and taking into account the vagaries of inflation, the Jaguar XK120 was not only the least expensive when it was new, but also a relative bargain. Who would have thought that £1263 would buy what was, in 1948, not just the UK's but the world's fastest production car?
