Mind-blowing technological marvels in their own right with pistons the size of thimbles, 24 valves and an 18,000rpm rev-ceiling, they not only sound like absolutely nothing else, they worked brilliantly, eventually dominating 250 and 350 GPs (indeed winning 1966’s 250 crown by the season’s midway point); becoming inextricably associated with arguably the greatest racer of all time,
