I reckoned on the right with an open coat and white shirt holding a clipboard or signalling board - only a thought
The Gulf car magnesium fuel filler caps were not painted black.
Thats the natural colour magnesium oxide adopts.
I have a few sets.
The fuel switch over valve was a Vickers product, fitted to both many military

No, you nailed it Bill - that's him. Driver of the P4 is listed as P Sutcliffe so that might be 0860 which he ran at Le Mans with Gunter Klass the same year (1967) No. 19, so paint out a figure 1 and what have you got?
I am afraid the following comments from John Oxborough, backed up by Brian Magee on page 1 of the Stoneleigh Show thread "kit built cars should not be looked down upon by some folk who having found a few
"ORIGINAL" parts, constructed a "ORIGINAL FAKE" and then consider a kitcar show beneath the clubsactivities ," is the final straw and I cannot bring myself to describe the progress of my car any more on this forum. I apologise to the vast majority of people who have expressed great interest, but the open comments of the minority have caused me much pain and heartache. Even though I have been blind-disabled since 1986, I gave 101% to the club as a volunteer. I showed the same dedication and patience to this forum and genuinely thought lovers of the GT40 marque would enjoy hearing about my car. I shall re-iterate for the last time, that I have never said my car is the original GT40 "GT40P/1042". I had hoped others would speak up on my behalf, but alas I am alone. Well, perhaps not quite alone and I will leave you with a copy of an email message from Ronnie Spain received in 2012: "Hello Andrew,
Your forum posting is absolutely fine with me. No disagreement at all about any of
what you said.
Thanks for the links to the 1967 Le Mans videos. I'll find time somehow to watch
them.
All the best,
Ronnie"
