    Thank you for posting. Q- were Etheridge’s builds given sequential “P” numbers? and, wasn’t this about the time of the Safir cars? R/S Steve

    Gentlemen: I am a long time lurker (former 65 GT350 racer, still own car 'SFM5S339'FWIW). Appreciate all who contribute here. Big GT40 fan! Anyway, I live in the the US and have been trying to figure out how feasible it is to attend the Spa Six Hours. Couple of logistical questions for those...

    Spf 2317

    I'm a big fan. Thanks for keeping us all up to date. If possible, would love to see a pic(s) from rear quarter showing the quad taillights and the perspective/form of the narrow hips. There's very little out there on this SPF body style: - It appears the rear wheel wells are radiused 'rounded'...

    An engine build... Kinda' GT40 related

    I too have had a similar experience. I run a Crane mechanical roller (TR-252-400-8) with the correctly specified Crane lifters and springs. In my case the axle/pin which holds the bushed roller to the lifter body wore up into the lifter body allowing the roller to contact the lifter, sieze, and...

    Goodwood Members Meeting

    Very impressive field. Of note: four SPF40s(?). Looks like they were narrow hipped/four taillight versions (at least #7 and #11). Don't see these too often. Thank you for posting.
