    Hi Bernie, I like your writing style, it’s clear, concise and rational. Thank you also for your supportive post. Once again I might be putting my neck in a noose by expressing my opinion but I’m happy to do so as I believe that I’m bullet proof by now!!! There is no ways that Hershal Byrd and...

    Two Blondes

    Hi All, Perhaps we need some light relief! Cape Town recently suffered a spate of power failures due to some technical problems at out local nuclear power station. A blonde says to her blonde friend, 'You know the other day I had a terrible experience. I was stuck in a lift for two hours.'...

    RF Situation - A bit of information related to other posts

    Re: RF Situation - A bit of information related to other pos I've done my best to explain the situation. People will always view issues differently. I leave it to forum members to be judge and jury. This whole RF saga has been of no benefit to me and has in fact cost me a great deal of...

    Tiff Needell and the Superformance GT40 Mk11

    Hi All, I've just had another look at the 1963 Le Mans start pic. The Lola MK6 was the second car built. Behind the MOTUL sign against the retaining wall behind it was black sign with gold letters, a memorial to the 80 or so people who died in 1955 when Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz 300SLR...

    Tiff Needell and the Superformance GT40 Mk11

    Hi Rob, I think it best that I reply to you on that one privately, but no, I was never personally involved with building Allen’s new car. I've posted the 1963 Le Mans start pic before but seeing that we’re on the subject of the Lola MK6, I repeat. The door tops cutting into the roof clearly...

    Tiff Needell and the Superformance GT40 Mk11

    Thanks Rob, Here's an article on Allen's Lola MK6. If one looks at the windscreen one can clearly see the beginnings of the GT40. Note Tony Maggs's autograph.

    Tiff Needell and the Superformance GT40 Mk11

    A much younger Allen Grant in 1963 with his racing Cobra. The colour scheme was created by his buddy, George Lucas. The pic is on page 64 of Bob's fantastic book. I sent George an E-Mail with the suggestion that he makes a TV soap opera called THE SPORTS CAR, which could be based on the 1960s...

    Tiff Needell and the Superformance GT40 Mk11

    Hi Dan, I like where you live, New Slough, same as (old) Slough where the original GT40s and Lolas were built. Huge learning curve ahead, You bet, never ends, how about the RF saga for me! Old Enzo, who ran his famous car company until he was 90 also always said that you never stop learning...

    Tiff Needell and the Superformance GT40 Mk11

    Hi DMatt, It is the same car. Shortly after it was filmed in Cape Town it was taken back to Port Elizabeth where the engine was removed. It was then to shipped to Dennis Olthoff the Superformance dealer in North Carolina. Small world. Regards, Andre 40

    Re: RF Situation - A bit of information related to other pos Hi Keith, What an entangled web! I'll get some advice from my learned accounting and legal friends and will then respond. What's happened to Simon Osbourne. I believe he went back to the hotel industry from whence he came before...

    RF Situation - A bit of information related to other posts

    Re: RF Situation - A bit of information related to other pos Hi Ian, Keith, Rob and Ron, The suggested purchase of ‘all the shareholders’ of CAMCO ‘ by Robert Logan must have been another pipe dream. With what money? The Joint RF/CAMCO wasn’t even properly funded. The deal was a simple one...
