The other day i watched the Discovery Ch. This progran was on about top 10 fast cars or somthing like that. Now they had this really old car for the 1930's i think which had 16 cylinders and did a top speed of 252mph i Recon is fast for back then? first of does anyone know what car it was? and did anyone catch which car was No 1 in the countdown as i missed the last bit?

What colour was it?
Was it definitely the 30s and not the 50s?
And was it a F1 car or a land speed record car?
If silver and F1, poss an Auto Union or Mercedes.
If green and 1950s F1, poss a V16 BRM.
If Blue and land speed car, probably one of the Bluebirds.
