Welcome Cameron, This covers the 'whole story' or as near as damn it. Expensive but a massive book & worth it, in my opinion...

Agreed and Peter is a GT40 owner too !

Thanks for posting the pictures Sean. I go every time I'm in Le Mans as there is always a themed temporary display or a change of cars on display. The early car looks like it may be Claude's GT101R ? (R for recreation)

Thanks for the information. I couldn't make it on Sunday but will try and get along later in the year.

New & not period.

May be replacement modern items, as are some of the switches.

Nice article here...

We have sadly lost another one of the great & enormously versatile drivers of the past. 'Quick Vic' Victor Henry Elford passed away 13th March 2022 RIP Vic

Doesn't searching for the LED equivalent of 5 watt / 12 volt & 21 watt / 12 volt work ?

I have never seen a headlamp that could be used upside down. The lens is full of prisms that direct & focus the beam pattern (in conjunction with the reflector) in a precise way. Some headlamps had a 'flat top dip' pattern without the 'kick up' that illuminates the kerb when on dipped beam. I...

That's good news Brian, Arthur presents some good documentaries. It's important to continue to tell & remind future generations of these kind of stories. Regards Steve

Lee Holman received the last batch of Tennant chassis & some of the tooling as Tennant didn't want to do any more chassis builds. (These are not Abbey Panels chassis from the 1960's.) They are not 'Mk2' chassis to my knowledge, but are GT40 chassis which can be built as either version. They were...

The Gulfstream must be about an hour away, parked on the pan at Gatwick.........
