I offered US$3k for a NOS one 2 years ago but the guy wasn’t interested. My restored original blade is presently sitting on an original concourse street car and the owner wants to buy it for similar money but I need it myself . There’s 7 injection moulding tools needed for all the different...

Hi Randy I’ve never seen him on this forum under any if his know identities. We’ve seen his explanation ourselves when he tried to convince the guy from McLaren that his car was real. He then admitted to him it has an all new chassis. He says aluminum but it’s nothing like the original as he...

Yes, the car in your post is the car that was built up by Lilo Benzicron after he purchased an incomplete Tennant Panels chassis from Holman Moody. L.B. is still around but now goes under his racing name' of "AC D'augustine" after his bankrupcy. He has several other names actually. Ronnie Spain...

Hi Pete. The 2nd chassis is not connected in any way to the car pictured in the first post. And theres zero thats either original or connected to the original Sebring car. That 2nd lightweight chassis is also no more. The same guy who owns the above fake car with all the fakes connected story...

Hi, no the ERA spyder was a left hand drive. But very different to this in many ways. Heres a photo of the ERA car. The car in the first post is a Tennant Panels replica. I know the car well, and also the convoluted story behind it. Nothing is oroginal. I'll give more details on a fresh reply in...

Hi Mike I think I know this car. Who was the entrant/driver listed? Was it AC D’Augustine ?

Hi John. I just sent you a PM Thanks

There’s no Toroid in the GT40 amp module. It’s quite a sophisticated & refined circuit. Ford archives don’t even have any info on it (see attached image of their blueprint). The back room tech boys at Dearborn designed & hand built these modules starting with a standard breakerless...

Hi Bill Hope you are well. You posted a small picture of the rear of the GT40 camera car from the Le Mans movie a few years ago. Im trying to find a higher resolution version of that image. Can you by any chance recall where you got that image from? Ive never seen that shot before. Email me if...

Hi Danny, I hope you are well. Could you please contact me as I have just read your olf forum posting about the GT40 during the filming of Le Mans movie and I'd love to hear from you to get as much detail on everything you know , and I'd love to see any more photos you have. Paul Kinghan +44...

Couple more pics I've dug out of some of David Brown's in-house creations

1103 prior to death of its previous owner on display at Beaulieu National Motor Museum in the UK. Nice resto job has clearly since been done. I believe the widow of the old owner also had a 427 dry sump Cobra in the museum - anyone know what happened to that car?

Hi Brian Sadly I wasnt there then! My first ever trip to NZ was in May this year. Sounds like I missed a good event from what I heard though But I did get some laps around Teretonga in a Mazda RX7 track car which was good, that is until some crazy local chap decided to ride his pushbike...
