Can you pick the 24 Hours of Le Mans winners from this group of cars? List them in order by year, make and model.

The Nissan is the odd race car out here, John. I collect Le Mans cars so know these winners but will leave the labels to another august member. All six are magnificent models.

The Nissan R 89C was a DNF in the 1989 Le Mans 24 hours.

The only cars I can pick are the Ford GT Mark 1s from 1968 and 1969.  However, I can't tell you if the 1968 or '69 were car #6 or #9.  The rest are a guess.  I think the Jag Silk cut was '88 or '89.

The #9 GT40 MKI won in 1968, the same chassis with some updates to the car is the #6 GT40 MKI won in 1969, the Porsche 956 New Man #7 won in 1984, the Jaguar Silk Cut XJR-9 #2 won in 1988 and the Mazda 787B #55 Renown won in 1991. Nissan has never won the outright 24 Hours of Le Mans so the #25 Nissan R89C is the odd car out.
