There's plenty of things here that Chris Wilson would no doubt call sacrilegious, but I've a serious hankering for a 245.

I expect I'm in the minority, but think I'm going to start looking out for a decent example!

 

Those Ronal centre lock wheels always looked spot on fitted to the touring car 242's. And the pre tensioned alloy cages were a work of art before they were banned. Happy days.... :)

 

I remember putting a small film camera on the end of a stick, with a Heath Robinson remote shutter release and pushing it under a European Touring Car Championship RAS sponsored 242 in the pit garages at Silversone as I wanted a photo of their somewhat dubious live rear axle with negative camber, and being chased by this irate Swede who didn't take kindly to me doing that. Still got the still somewhere... I could run like hell in those days :)
