if y'all like that I will improve on the digi rig, as I have interesting pics of the then open to the public, walk-around, mechanics pits, with F1 cars of the era (1983-85) nude, taken apart, etc.
Quite a scene.
Prior to that, I hadn't realized the cars were a bolt-on assembly of three cells, front axle, pilot compartment, motor+rear drive. And one could clearly see how, for each 'car', there were sub-assemblies sitting around. The old rules must have allowed that flexibility.
