This is soooo tempting! Imiss my old GT40 but will have to continue dreaming. Good luck with the sale. Geoff.

Thanks Nick, I'll pass this on to Andrew. The caravan does lend an air of luxury! Thanks for the advice. Cheers, Geoff.

Thanks Mike - I'll pass that on. Any thoughts on the best campsites around the circuit? Cheers, Geoff Deakin.

My son and friends are planning to go across to Le Mans for next years race. The plan for the three of them is to take a caravan and camp at one of the sites around the circuit. It has been suggested they travel Dover - Calais. He came across with me for the Classic in 2010, and wants to...

It's not the getting in.............it's the getting out again that killed me! Though, still missing it like hell. Need to win the lottery, get a Superformance and a private personal physio! Good luck though Brett....It's definitely worth it. Cheers, Geoff.

Hello Brian, I am very sorry to hear about your wife's injuries - May I wish her a speedy recovery and wish you well at the same time. I think we met years ago at the Tornado factory on an open day. Funnily enough your name cropped up the other day while I was doing some family history research...

Brian, That's why I have headed this KVA 'build manual' in inverted commas. I must have acquired the pages when I had my KVA. It was a choice between throwing it in the bin, or passing it on to somebody who might have an interest in it, even from a historical/memorabilia point of view...

Hi Randy, That's a capital idea, but sounds super-technical. I'll try it over the weekend.

Hi, John S - I hope you won't be offended if I post these to John B. I really think they wouldn't be much use to you. John B -Please PM me with your address. Cheers, Geoff.

Hi John, Seeing you are about to start on a RCR kit, I'm not sure the KVA Build 'manual' will be a lot of good to you. The KVA dates back to the earliest days of GT40 replicas - Around the mid 1980's. The 'kit' comprised a chassis and a body and these instructions The first kit - The...

Hi, I've been having a clearout and have come across a photocopy of a 'Build Manual' for the KVA. It has 21 pages of text and drawings, If it's of any interest, get in touch and I'll post it on. Cheers, Geoff.
