Has it really been 20yrs since the 191 was run?

In my opinion, there's rarely been as handsome a car...be it in bare-carbon launch mode, or in definitive green 7-Up/Ireland livery.

It's certainly the last F1 car that I considered really good-looking.

Yes, one beautiful car.... as were their Benson & Hedges cars and all Jordans. Not sure if I miss the cars more, or Eddie.

Definately a nice looking car, and one that set a lot of aerodynamic trends for the next three years. Personally, I thought the cars looked a little better when they narrowed them to 2m, but then they went to 1.8 and totally ruined everything.

One of the last truly good looking F1 cars.

Completely agree - The last truly elegant Formula One car, both shape and colour scheme. A gem.

What's with the 'OSAMA' sticker on the nose, behind the front wheel? Any relation to the Bin Laden ones on the early 1980's Williams?

No, they're an Italian pen manufacturer- http://www.osama.com/index.aspx

20 years? Where did all that time go to...?
As several people have said, definitely one of the classic 'modern-era' F1 designs, and far prettier than anything around at the moment- and a great livery as well

That one is a beauty! They don´t make them like that anymore. And that´s a real shame... The nineties was in my opinion the last great decade in Formula 1, nowadays it´s just...well, i don´t really know what it is. It´s not F1 anymore...

Late 80s and early 90s definitely produced the best looking F1 cars of the modern era, and the Jordan 191 was certainly one of the handsomest !

The last time I saw 191 `run`, was at the Jordan GP Team`s 10th year celebration party at Donington. It went on track for demonstrations in the hands of John Watson and Andrea De Ceasaris. It now has a birth amongst some of the other good looking GP cars of yester-year in the Donington Collection.

This might be more appropriate in the 'Too Much Time..' thread, but some bloke's made an uncommonly detailed model of the Jordan 191:

I wish I could say that a lack of time was the only reason I can't do something like that.
Beauty.
