:thumbsup:Great stuff, thanks for posting. Nice to see Chevrons up at the front mixing it with the numerous Lolas!

One of the most under-rated drivers ever, from an era of spectacular and dangerous cars and circuits, a really nice bloke as well. Should be a great book, he has many great stories to tell. He was (still is) one of my heroes from my school days along with Pedro Rodriguez, Jo Siffert and Vic Elford.

Thanks for posting links Mike. The 1970 Gold Cup was the first motor race I ever attended, cycling there from my then home in Bolton. It was significant in that it marked the surprise debut of the first Tyrrell F1 car for Jackie Stewart, was the last race for Jochen Rindt before the tragedy at...

Graham, you have nothing to regret. I believe you made a generous and well intentioned offer to help the club out when it was struggling to find cars to exhibit, the offer even prompted Martin to offer his Southern. The idea of the occasional guest car (particularly one as iconic as a 917)...

Compare the door shape with the B8, the B8's are much flatter and do not curve round into the windows as much as your mystery car. The windscreen shape is also wrong, the B8 leading edge is very much bowed forward. All B8 front clips came with recessed headlamp openings. The sills below the door...

I don't know what it is but it definitely not a Chevron B8.

Hi Bob, One of the most knowledgeable people for the 1960s TVR Griffith is Nigel Reuben in Droitwich. He built and runs, amongst others, Mike Whitaker's very successful Griffith in historic racing. For contact details www.nigelreubenracing.com Good luck with your project.
