Hi All, The following pics of the Superformance monocoque were posted a long time ago. In the meantime as many new members have joined I’m sure they would have missed out and I’m repeating. As there have been many interesting discussions on the pros and cons of both space (tube) frame chassis...

Hi Steve, I should have added that the reason for the late post was that in the first week of February I E-mailed Tiff to get his permission to post the pics but being no doubt a busy guy he never replied. A few days ago I phoned Jimmy to ask and he said go for it – have fun! You must be the...

Hi Steve, Yes, I took the pics with my 35 year old, steam driven Nikkormat camera. Great quality lens but perhaps you should remind me of the digital era! You see I got Tiff to grin and smile. No doubt he was so amazed at a Nikkormat facing him that he couldn’t help himself. No, Jimmy has...

Hi Rob, Missed your post. It kinda slipped in. Will double check on Monday and report. Hi Keith, Your comment 'worth the wait' is most appropriate. I wonder how many people out there actually realise and appreciate how complex the development of car of this nature is and I'll quote Jimmy's...

Hi Bill and Keith, The way I understand it is that the chassis numbers of Jimmy's cars will pick up from the last car built back in the mid-1960s, ie 'continuation.' I believe that the same applies to the re-born Lola T70 MK111B, ie chassis numbers to continue from the last car built in 1969...

Of course Tiff should a grin on his face. He's just completed a few laps of the Killarney circuit in a Superformance GT40!

Hi All, At the end of January, Tiff Needell , who heads op Channel Five’s Fifth Gear TV programme arrived in Cape Town with his camera crew to film the Superformance GT40 MK11 at the Killarney race track and along coastal scenic routes. I’ve just phoned the UK and they will let me know on...

Hi David, Very funny but a bit scary to think that we place our lives in the hands of people who write those reports! History will tell us that Prof Chris Barnard performed the world's first heart transplant operation at the Groote Schuur (big barn) hospital in Cape Town in 1967. When you...

Hi affected RF customers, I’ve received an E-mail from an RF customer who asked why, when I knew the situation by the time I quit, ie October 23, I didn’t make a post warning customers. A good and valid question. Firstly when I walked out I had nothing further to do with either CAMCO or...

Hi F1 fans, I'm sure that a few million viewers must have seen Michael Schumacher walking through the Toyota pit after he crashed his Ferrari in yesterday's Australian Grand Prix. I was wondering if he had popped in to ask for a job so that he could join his brother! He, he he, Andre 40

Re: DEPOSIT INSURANCE????? Hi all future car buyers, For many years now the kit and specialised vehicle industries world wide have a history of being under capitalised and relying on customer deposits basically as working capital. The end result has so often been monies lost, bankruptcy...

Hi Al and all, I go along with that. There is no way that either Hershal Byrd (RF US agent) or Rick Chattell (RF UK agent) could remotely or in any way be implicated in any of this. At no time did they ever communicate directly with CAMCO or were they privy to production times or schedules...
