| Hello from Essex !
Hello Ron & everyone,
I've been reading this forum for ages & have finally got around to registering.
I have been collecting GT40 books, models, paintings etc., for a few decades, so I only lack the car now..............
I work for FoMoCo at Dunton & have been in the GT40 Enthuiasts Club for 10 years.
Kind regards, Steve. |

Brett,
I loosely recall talking about an East Anglia regional monthly meeting some time ago, but never got far with it. I am aware of 1 or 2 other newer members in this area, so maybe the time has come to set something up?
Anyone interested in becoming the Regional Rep? You would need to find a good location (pub) with suitable parking. I guess it would need to be fairly 'central', maybe around Thetford/Bury St. Edmunds?
Max

Hi Brett,
Thanks for the hello. I guessed that there are a few of us lurking around Dunton !
I remember the dark red replica at the last enthusiasts day & one of our retirees has a black GTD locally, hopefully he'll bring it to this years e-day.
I'm in the prototype engine build bay.
Kind regards, Steve. | |

Stephen, Welcome. I spent many glorious years of my youth in Essex. Gt. Easton and Gt. Dunmow. I really miss the tranquility of those small villages. Tell us more about your GT 40 collection of books, models, paintings etc. I've always heard the MK1 GT40 model in a decent scale is hard to find. | |

Hi Jimmy,
It's a small world, I drove through those very villages on Sunday !
I have spent alot of time & effort book collecting, I must have 20+ going back as far as the sixties. The first one's bought new as current books would of been late seventies / early eighties, I'm sure I was still at school when I bought some of them....
I made sure to get everything on the 2004 GT when current rather than pay inflated prices years later !, dealer info, posters, shop manuals etc..
Pictures & posters approx 2 dozen, I must have a very tolerant other half.
I agree, it needs someone like Exoto to do the Mk1 justice, I have 4 slot cars, 2 Matchbox & 2 Eagles Race 1:18 as MK1's.
The only thing I'm really sure of is I need a bigger house.......
All the best, Steve | |
