That's not a picture I like to see, the fatal crash of GT40P/1000. R.I.P Bob McLean

Thanks for sharing. The Abbey Panels / FAV one is fantastic.

Brian's correct, in fact that's the very first car, GT101. One of the 12 prototypes, GT101 to GT112. Considered a total loss at the time by FAV it was replaced by GT103 in the team. That accident was at the April 1964 Le Mans test day. Happily Jo Schlesser was not injured. Perhaps the first...

In line with Tom & Bart's comments, wouldn't an original / old stock 1960's screen have a British Standard Kite mark rather than an E-mark ? It would be Made in England surely. A bit of info. here, https://www.anglia-models.co.uk/tech-glass-trip.htm

Hi Bill, I got that one when it came out. It only cost £300 to £350 at the time, one of my few right moves !

These sort of monthly kits look like financial suicide to me. That money would buy a lot of die cast ! & without the possibility of the company failing to supply every isue..

He leaves a great legacy. RIP Erich.

My favouriite rallycross car & driver, who pioneered using Zakspeed engines in rallycross. (Love the victory lap in this one !)

Sorry to hear about Bryan's problem. A cruel thing to suffer from. Graham, thanks for posting. Regards Steve

1966 Le Mans Mk2 spec. above 1967 blue Mk2b & red Mk4 to complete the set, below.

Great entry list. Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't attend this time, so the pictures are great to see. Top job, Nick. Thanks Steve

Quite right Jimmy, As I sit here at work there's a picture like that on my bench ! Mk2 rear body hanging over what look like standard size wheels, no rocker panel covers & two bulges in the front body over the radiator. Somewhere I once had a picture of it with a modified front body for extra...

Grid 4 #1 Is entered as Jim Farley / Van de Poele. Jim's car is 1109, a spare MK 3 chassis built up as a Mk 1. Previously red it's dark blue in Jim's ownership, TPE99M is the registration number.

That is true Ron, he has also built refrigerated vans and can fix dehumidifiers & industrial air conditioning plant.

Agreed ! Chris is a top bloke, he has worked on three of my cars. Highly recommended ! regards Steve

British Ford Zephyr / Zodiac was the source. Regards Steve
