When the car ran at Sebring in '66 (Driven by Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill), the car had all aluminum body panels and ran in the Prototype class. It went to LeMans and ran the test days in this configuration, but was withdrawn at the last minute in favor of the Mk II. When Paul bought it, he...
AM2 was in the Midlands Motor Museum, and was sold to George Stauffer. George painted it blue and did some vintage racing with it. When I bought it form George, he agreed to have a partial restoration done in his shop. At the time (1985), history wasn't such a big issue, and I elected to stay...
I have most, if not all, GT40 books, but I don't have them here in the office. I must have missed the reference in John Allen's book (If I have it). I don't have any un-published photos of the tranny during Paul's era, but I'll take a look at some of the other books I have to see if somehow I...

Re: Watkins Glen
Don't have time to get AM2 out of mothballs in time, but I'll be taking my comp Cobra up for the parade laps and track tours if the weather looks decent.

Hi Chris (and everyone else on the forum):
While I have been registered on the forum for over a year and a half, my contributions have been few, but I still try to keep up-to-date on all the postings.
For obvious reasons (as the owner of AM-2) I have read of Chris' discovery with great...
