Thank you for making Debbie and I so welcome on the stand and for putting a lot of hard work into promoting the club. Andrew

Re: P/1042 (1001) I know forum supporters have been patiently awaiting news of P/1042 (1001). Things have been a little slow due to a reshuffle at the works in New Zealand, but I am assured that steady progress is being made, so I thought you might like to share in the “story” of the car and...

Thanks. Wasn't the Mulsanne long in those days!!! Andrew

Alas John, another year goes by and I find myself with no GT40. I'll be there, but perhaps with something a little more Italian or even German! Regards.. Andrew

Yves... thank you for sharing your photographs with us. Were you at Le Mans in 1966 I wonder? Note the lack of driver's door air scoop. This was added in late 1966 or 1967 to cool the cockpit down in the African sun during its time racing in the Springbok series... Andrew

Re: P/1042 (1001) More research reveals GT40P/1042 got barbequed at Monza in either 1968 or 1969. Here's an original press photograph, note the lack of fire equipment. Do we wonder why sometimes more than one Pheonix arises out of a fire and "might" explain the origins of P/1042... or not!

I don't know who's is the more authentic and I wouldn't question the wisdon of Ronnie Spain, but I wouldn't have sent my 100s of period parts out to NZ, if it wasn't for the fact David gave me a great deal and had some "previous history" with the original GT40P/1042... Andrew

Sorry Jim, but this is where you just don't get what I'm trying to achieve. If I wanted it to look brand new, then everything would have been brand new. If I wanted to make it more useable, then I'd have used modern parts out of a Toyota etc and then I might as well gone all the way and bought...

P/1042 (1001) Some photographs taken when a friend visited New Zealand back in March. Some of the chassis is period original, although most of it is new.

Sorry John, no GT40 and getting ready for mum's party the following weekend. Cheers.. Andrew

I see a dozen yellow ribbons around the old oak tree.. but what is this? http://www.gdlaw.co.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0002/1100/LegalFiles.pdf

Do I need to call the Police and report a felony? "Book him Dano and call the Assistant DA"! Now that's cleared the air... I can report that progress is slow, I'll post some photographs taken in March later, so I haven't necessarily been in hiding, as the information coming from New Zealand...

All seems to be set for a great evening at Silvermere on Wednesday. Remember... all are welcome, members, guests & friends. We're starting with a 30 minutes video of the 1968 Le Mans race at 7:45ish, which should take us up to 8:15ish. A short break and then the talk from Roy begins about...

I am proud and excited to announce that Mr Roy Gillett is to give the GT40 and Sussex Area Lotus Group a talk about his involvement with GT40s and Le Mans in 1968. The evening begins with a film about the Gulf Racing GT40s of the JW Automotive team at the 1968 Le Mans, starting at 7:30 pm on...

I can only thank you for dedicating so much time to the magazine and to those members who contribute articles. Indeed, if it were not for negative tax implications, this most professional magazine would be selling to car nuts all over the world via local bookshops. Please keep up the good...

I am a criminal & civil litigation solicitor and if Mark requires legal assistance, then I offer my services for free. The only caveatt being that I am not insured for private client work, so "user beware"! My email is [email protected] and my evening/weekend phone number is...

If this car gains FIA papers once complete, then it will be allowed to go historic racing e.g. Gelsco, Tennant and Superformance etc all go historic racing in Europe now. GT40P/1085A is a Sbarro and raced at the Le Mans Classic in 2012.

Dave.. don't Classic Line do a valuation for a fee of £20.00? Otherwise, why won't the manufacturers of the kit assist? Regards.. Andrew

LADIES & GENTLEMEN... on Wednesday 8th May 2013, at the Surrey/SE club night at the Silvermere Golf Club, we have a special guest. Mr Roy Gilette was asked to join the JWA gulf-sponsored team for the 1968 Le Mans. Roy was put in charge of 1075 at the tender age of 19 and worked on signals...
