Re: Original MK1 GT40 for sale Thanks for the cockney translation Rick (yeah, I am from the smoke - Streatham, not that I'll ever admit to it). Beautifully crafted, I can almost hear the dulcet tones of Dick van Dyke, gor blimey. Both Bill and Bob (RIP) have been most entertaining. We await...

Re: Original MK1 GT40 for sale I say, this is all jolly interesting but I am waiting for Lord Muck to offer a translation service for readers from the United Kingdom

I was taking snaps of the GT40s on Thursday and an 'owner' was chatting with a couple of scrutineers. He was of the opinion that around six cars were less than the real deal. Scrutineers seemed quite amused. But then, in 2012, there were eight non-Cobras in the Cobra-only race, one of which was...

Such a shame that appalling article keeps floating to the surface. It was discredited long ago. A disgrace to Ken's legacy.

Score maximum points for a thread hijack though.... :)

You're just daring me to reply to that..... :) (But for the record I have no Scottish blood in me so why the hell would I ever make a haggis??! Nobody south of Hadrians Wall makes haggis, and nor should they. Not natural))

Everyone has to aspire to something (they tell me) But I won't give up the day job, flippin' burgers.....

It was a very deep hole and a very large apartment block went on top. Put the shovel away Wally. Ronnie can add to this but he won't - and neither will I. Let's just sit back and watch this space as they say..... :)

I don't think I'm giving away any secrets if I say - this is the year!

I'm glad I'm not alone in my confusion! I did consider asking the chassis number in question.....the ad was forwarded to one Mr. R. Spain This guy was also selling a "Stratos for restoration" which turned out to be $5000-worth of paperwork. Not so much as a wheelnut

Hi Barry Thanks for your time on Monday and it was great to meet with Gary. I'll drop an invoice in the post tomorrow for to cover the cost of the printing. As the 1982 photos were shot on film (of course) I had to make 8 scans which I've charged at cost. The 16x12 inch old photo I've charged...

Just a note to say many thanks to Barry for his time & tea plus the chance to get up close and personal with the inner workings of 1103! And to add a heart-felt unsolicited plug for CKL whose premises are every bit as impressive as the photo suggests. If I were a gentleman of means with a garage...

Barry - I photographed 1103 for the first time back in 1982, when it was stored in a flint barn near Goodwood. Mostly shot using black and white film. I know I shot some colour stuff and I'll trawl through my archives to see if I can find anything that may be useful. (Also shot the car in...

Sorry if my posting was seen as 'complaining' - not the case, just a general letting off of steam and sympathising with a fellow sufferer! I am very well aware that copyright theft is commonplace in all walks of life but when someone lifts whole chunks out of your book, it's irritating. I...

I feel your pain John. I was amazed when someone recently joined this site, I clicked the link to his Shebly/Cobra/GT40 site based in Belgium (no free publicity from me) and discovered he had photo-copied all my Cobra book images including one entire chapter (!) without ever giving me any credit...
