Re: GTD40 for sale PM sent.

Randy, who is the maker of this tub, and is it to original FIA specification please. Original spec tubs should have steel and three grades of alloy in their construction.

This was my old Special Saloon Mini, raced mainly in the Hepolite Glacier championship in the early 70s. Picture looks a little strange as it was lifted from some early 1971 cine film of Mallory Park paddock/race that someone sent to me.

Simon, I think most of us wondered what MID was, and what possible use it could have in tracing your unfinished car that you sold. The photos clearly show that there was a lot to do before it would ever get to that stage, and still might not be finished !

The holes you have ringed are the bracket mounting holes, Not where the clamp itself goes around the rack. I tried to add a picture to this reply but it says its format is too large and will not download. If you care to send me a PM with your email address I can send directly to you. It is...

Amazing coincidence. I was actually at Broadley Automotive/Fox racing this very afternoon, discussing steering racks used on the Lolas. From Austin 1800 to the 1100, left or right hand drive depending on whether leading or trailing steering. I have restored a couple of these racks, and took...

Gentlemen, I do admire and sympathise with all of you who have to go through the dreaded SVA/IVA test in order to get your cars on the road. However, please, please, please tell your insurance companies about your alterations back to original looks after you pass your test...

I,m already booked for it as one of the display cars with the 917K replica and representing Gulf Oil UK, who already have a strong garage presence in Scotland. If the wind is set fair and the sun shines, I,ve got a feeling that this is going to be a spectacular event with a fantastic setting.

No need Marcus ....... just go out in a wet qualifying or race. Three times last season I was soaked !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bingo, we are in luck. Had these since the dark ages !!!!!!! Now Brett, I see that you have a SGT chassis and it is possible that yours is slightly different to the original GTD measurements. I crudely butted the two card templates together to give you the rough idea, but please remember...

I,ll go into workshop and see if I have the template for the water pipe cover. Long time since I made one of those, and I assume you have an alloy clad frame and not one of the fibreglass tubs !!

I require a Hewland LG 500 (4 or 5 gear) gearbox and have a Porsche G50 and ZF 5-25 gearbox in good order plus £s .. to swop for a reasonable condition one. Any one out there with one gathering dust please?

Giles, you have a PM.

Giles, you have a PM.

There you are Kimson. I told you to be patient.

Andy, I most humbly apologise to you and all other readers for my mistake. I had no idea that you did the body construction in house. All credit to you.

Kimson, you are too impatient. Give them a chance to reply, as they are are not huge multi-national companies with lots of staff. I know that Mick Southern is moving his workshops just down the site a little to larger premises so there may be delays. None of these...

Well done Karl. Towards the end you can hear the lovely sound of a Merlin Spitfire engine. This is of one of the few two seat Spitfires that regularly take paying customers up for flights from various airfields around the country. Throughout the day it sounded more like a "scramble"...
