Re: Carrol Smith\'s car Dear Malcom, I would be delighted. You would have to beat me with a stick to keep me away! Please let me know the calender of events when it is complete. I am still hoping to be able to host a programme at Thruxton in the New Year. Best wishes, Rick

HI Andre, Good post as usual. It is worth adding, that when the first few CAV's entered the UK, there were some serious safety issues with regard to the front suspension geometry and also weaknesses at the points at which the front uprights joined the chassis. All the UK cars were inspected...

Hi all, For those of you who are interested in the RF, Robert Logan will be manning the Thruxton Sports Cars stand with me at the Exeter show in November. We are showing Jerry's car at the show, so it will be a great opportunity to see evey aspect of the car in an unclothed state (!) and to...

I have a CAV in factory metallic silver. Does any one know the paint code or source of this paint? I am wondering if it is a Ford colour.... Rick
