We’d like to take your mind off the naff noses of the recently unveiled 2012 Formula One cars, so we asked around the office and, with the help of The Cahier Archive, put together a gallery of classic motorsport’s foxiest Formula One cars.
Check it out below, and enjoy!
What are the qualities that make a Formula One car beautiful for you? Is it in the Livery? Wildness? Clean lines? Let us know your top ten and what makes them beautiful in the comments below and on the Facebook page here.

I could do another 10, but let the readers vote first!
Best ever is Brabham BT52B, not the 52, the increased wing and change in colour for white on blue rather than blue on white adds to the look for me.
Another I’d add is the Lotus 88 in Essex colours only though not that Courage version.
Dan Gurneys AAR Eagle of 1966/67 Must win this by a country mile,for sheer beauty without all those wings an things!
F1 in its purest form.
Lotus 33, Alfa-Romeo 158-9, Tyrell 001, Lotus 72 in JPS livery, Vanwall 1957, 1964 Ferrari, 1969 Brabham.
Thoughts in haste
Michael.
It would be nice to see an actual colour picture of the TG1 Eagle itself instead of Harry Weslakes 3 litre V12 Titanium masterpiece that powered Dan the Mans car,or even better when fitted with the FPF Coventry Climax when fitted with its engine cover…. Magnafique.
For a couple of years at Long Beach, McLaren ran their cars with sponsorship from Lowenbrau beer. The blue and green was a huge change from the usual Marlboro red and white, and they were gorgeous.
