Hi Nick, The Brough my father owned was an 1929 SS100 sold at auction as a Grand Alpine. He bought it as a solo and had the sidecar made to his own design to accomodate four children (two rows of double seats). It was a bit cramped in there but we were all very young then. My father was from...

So Nick, where do you fit into the family picture? I asume that the car in your avatar is one of the few Brough Superior cars that they made. My father once owned the bike that sold at auction a few years ago for £286000. It had a sidecar at the time and was the family transport so I have an...

Hi Jack, The only regulation regarding the width of a trailer in the UK that I can see is that the maximum overall width must not exceed 2.55m (100.4"). See below:- "If the towing vehicle has a permissible gross weight in excess of 3.5 tonnes the maximum width and length of the trailer are...

Hi Neil, I had a Brian James trailer, 74" wide bed and I believe 14ft overall. I always loaded backwards with the nose just overhanging the back of the trailer. Over the years I carried well over 15 different GT40s on it and the only one I had a problem with was Martin Potts car because of the...

David, Thanks for posting the picture. I lost my hard drive recently with those pictures on otherwise I would have posted it. Yes there was another picture with us standing beside the cars wearing boiler suits dyed light blue to look like Dunlop racing overalls. Fortunately I haven't got a...

Glen, It might be easier to Photo-Shop it out. Stephen, The original photo was taken in 1973 during the Le Mans 50th anniversary celebrations. Ford had organised a dinner there with Carol Shelby as guest of honour. Our picture was taken very early one morning in 2002 during to first...

And here is the picture that we were trying to replicate Brian

Trevor, If the fans are fitted with a 1mm gap between the fan and the core then the rubber will not be needed. Also if you fit the fans on bobbins this will allow the fans to move and possibly touch the core. I have always fitted them as your photo but with a 1mm gap and have never had a...
