Welcome Trevor !

Good evening Simon, (Belatedly, sorry) Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum. There's also the UK based https://www.gt40enthusiastsclub.com/ who have a place on this forum, in addition to their own website. Steve

Eddy, picture links on first posting. https://www.gt40s.com/threads/terry-drury-racing-gt40-sold.54202/

The TDR car built up from spares over the last few years appears to of found a new home. https://www.terrydrury.com/workshop Originally unsold at a Goodwood auction last year, https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25450/lot/97/ it is now listed as sold for £308,000 at Silverstone Auctions three...

Hi all, Short working week for most of us in the UK this week, after a spring bank holiday with no motor sport, car shows or air shows...... Keep safe, Steve

Happy Monday everybody ! Week 4 back at Dunton begins for me. Still ok, touchwood. Hope all of you are well.

You have done some great work on this project, very impressive. Are you considering changing the engine cover latches to something period correct ? Looking forward to seeing the finished car, which with your rate of progress wont be long ! Regards Steve

This years (78th) Members Meeting which was postponed until later this year will now take place, PROVISIONALLY, on April 10th & 11th 2021.

Very good points Ian, & not disputing Nick's infomation. It's very hard to be clear on the differing methods of counting in various countries & the accuracy involved. Like many I still don't understand the Chinese figures, considering it started there as an unknown disease, but hardly anyone...

Many, many, historical inaccuracies in this film, even concerning the main characters & races. ie; (Miles WAS in the 1965 Le Mans 24hr) Covered elsewhere on the forum if you want to search.

Another week begins, work again! Regards to one & all.

It looks like just another design of 'eyebrow' to me, typical of a race team experiencing a problem (door lift at speed) & coming up with a quick fix.
