A few pics from yesterday.... (I hope the weather is better for the Revival at Goodwood!!)
Pics are in no particular order and include:
A curious silhouette Merc - which was not a Merc at all, but a space framed, panelled beastie with a 450bhp 351Ford V8 - 1200kg - "lots of steering input required" - (and I'd like one!!) It was running an old spare engine after "putting a rod through thr side of the race block last week" - oops!
The 'Judd' team - with their beautiful E-type lightweight, that Charles managed to blagg a ride in... Next time it's my turn!
A couple of rather nice Lola reps. The Orange GD was nice, although I'm not too sure about the rear of it and the 'Bardahl' beauty that - well I just like it!! - "Fran, I wish!"....
Obviously the Comp Coupe looked and went just great - my laps with Nadine at the helm were memorable, she certainly knows how to drive high power cars. My nephew was amazed with both rides he had (thanks Nadine and Bjorn) with his first session with Nadine being especially interesting as, out on slicks, a sudden rain shower fell, one lap out!
One thing to be said about the coupe, it just soaks up all thrown at it - you can hammer around hour after hour with no ill effects to the car - certainly a change to many 40s (even Malcs suffered increasing wheel bearing play later in the day)..
A few other mixed shots including an amusing 'Gulf' mini, which seemed to be freshly built, with a modern injected 16v motor in the rear driving the rear wheels - was flippin' quick too.
