Too many to even remember Oz, lots of 80's & 90's cars, Ferrari's, Renault's, Williams etc. Plus lots of the older cars - here are a few more that ran the hillclimb:
Image
Clockwise from top left: Alan Jones' Williams, one of Dan Gurney's cars, The first car ever to win a Grand Prix, this car did the hillclimb aswell & lastly, Nigel Mansell's Lotus - which he also drove up the hillclimb earlier in the day.

Cheers,

Ah the number 5 benneton. The car that revolutionised the design of the modern F1 car. I miss the days of schumi in that and Hill in the FW15 battling out. Great times.
