Hi Paul Yes. I'm not even sure if the ticket office is open yet. I think the ACO want to be pretty sure the 24 hours will go ahead, as they wont want to have to go through all the trouble of refunds etc.. The site that controls inscriptions for Marshalls doesnt have the Classic or the 24 hours...

Hello Paul Excellent news. We did actually meet a few years ago at the British Welcome in St Saturnin, Le Mans. Hope you will bring the car at some stage. Regards Stephen

Hi Paul I don't really have an answer for you, but may just be able to point you to a site that may be able to help. You may have already seen this. There is a guy called Ivan Lees who has been building a KVA Mk 3. Not sure whether he's finished it or what, but the site is at GT40-KVA.co.uk...

Hi Paul I think we met up at the British welcome in Le Mans a few years ago. The car is looking fantastic. Unfortunately I have now sold my GT40, and moved on, but I really hope you have as much fun and enjoyment as I had with my GT40 over the last 25 years. I'll look forward to seeing you...

Hi I've got Simca 1000 rear lights coming out of my **s!! Not necessarily in the best of condition. Always check the vide grenier and auto jumbles. Stephen

Hi I am currently restoring a Lotus Europa S2. I was very surprised when I took the windscreen out that the roof sagged !! I suppose it is another confirmation of the true Chapman genius of getting components to perform more than one task. The windscreen not only protects the occupants from the...

Hi Before I built my GT40, I built a little car for my daughter. I made a wood monocoque. Now there's a thought (??). Like all these things, depends what, how, etc.. it is going to be used. Have fun anyway. Regards Stephen

Hi Nick Don't agree. Re-read your first post and stick to it. You can always build a southern gt after you've completed what you started. Regards Stephen

Hello David Dave Bilyk was quite right when he said I'd moved over to France. We managed to do it in 2010. I am based near Le Mans, and have the great honour of being a Marshall at the circuit. Your car will receive a great welcome, as mine has. I'm afraid you are about 4 hours away from me. We...

Hi David I'd like one. Wouldn't mind an electronic version, but that's a lot of work. Regards Stephen

Hi David Great to catch up with you and meet Will. As always, shame we didn't have more time to put the world to rights. Sorry about your steak. We must remember to give that restaurant a wide berth next year. Or maybe not, as I think you did get on with the waitress extremely well. Hope all...
