P/1042 (1001) I recently stumbled across a small parts hoard and was very fortunate to be get hold of some very original/period spares, including; front and rear Girling brake callipers dated 1966 and 1964 respectfully. These were a true find, as I can now ditch my modern repros. You know the...

"Hi".. I urgently require a set of front & rear period original brake calipers for my GT40. They should be the Girling pre-66 type for solid disks. Cash waiting for the correct brakes, even needing complete refurb. Provenance is a must. Please email a.komosa @ btopenworld.com without the...

Hi Graham. Sorry, I don't know what happened, but no email. As a reminder it's a.komosa @ btopenworld.com with the spaces removed. Cheers. Andrew P.S. Sorry Frank, for hijacking the thread.

Slightly off topic, but probably interesting enough- my wife Debbie and I spent last weekend near Welshpool, Wales. We marshalled on an all night road rally, our first control point opening at 00:30 and our second closing at 06:08 Sunday morning. Very, very tiring, but spectacular with the...

Hi Frank. Believe it or not.. I have a MSA competition licence and from next year, a GT40. Let me be the benchmark for folk to beat!!! For clarification, I hold a non-race National A navigator's rally licence. Very good idea and I hope the idea works out. Regards... Andrew

"Hi". If this is GT40P/1071, then I think it belongs to Mark Finburgh from London. He's owned it since the early 1970s and also owns the David Piper crashed Porsche 917K. I don't believe Mark has ever raced his GT40 however, although I do know he drives it on parade laps. It is probably one...

OK. so you lot are more on the ball than I. I was confusing wheels with one on a Testa Rossa I owned. Here's a photo of me collecting my GT40 wheel from Mathwall engineering.. Andrew

Does anyone know whether original GT40 steering wheels differed between road and race cars? I ask, because to my knowledge, original wheels were dished and had round holes in the spokes. My wheel, off GT40P/1026 is thus. The only reason I enquire is to clarify whether road GT40s had tear...

Thank you Mike. "Yes", my wife Debbie and I, agree it was a most memorable evening and wish to thank the hotel's owner Martin and his wife, plus all the staff who made us most welcome. Great to speak to old GT40 friends again. Forgive me however, for disappearing for a wile in a Belgium Matra...

I didn't know anything about Walter Willmott, but how cooll is this? He set up Mclaren's with Bruce in the early 1960s and lives in the city where Classic Car Developments are based. I cannot ask for someone with better credentials than this to oversee the final stages of my GT40 project...

P/1042 (1001) David Brown over in NZ has sent some photographs and I understand the car is in the paint shop. Also, very excitingly, I believe Bruce Mclaren's old engineer has been over to the workshop to check out the project.. see Face Book message below- Tony Gallagher 4:23pm Jul 25...

ceased and desisted... apologies for my over-enthusiasm.. Andrew

P/1042(1001) With regard to the wheels, the debate has been going on some time (years) about whether these are called "F3L" or "FAV" wheels. Ronnie Spain told me they were an optional extra for early GT40s, so the customer could order his/her car with either wire Boranis, or these. However...

Hi John... Fortification 94 was a long time ago and did not have any bearance on the AGM venue for 2014. I did not have anything to do with it's venue and wasn't aware until recently, that it was to be held at theGaydon Museum. Also, my comments about kit cars were regarding placing our GT40...

P/1042(1001) Gentlemen- thank you so much for your kind support. I am still a little shocked at the comments made, but as there has been so many people asking me to continue, both on the forum, via PM, email and over the telephone from all over the World, how can I fail but to carry on the...

I am afraid the following comments from John Oxborough, backed up by Brian Magee on page 1 of the Stoneleigh Show thread "kit built cars should not be looked down upon by some folk who having found a few "ORIGINAL" parts, constructed a "ORIGINAL FAKE" and then consider a kitcar show beneath the...

I met the late John Etheridge and he was a very knowledgable gentleman. He was at the forefront of the GT40 back in the day and it's a pity he and his like are growing old and passing on. Thank you John for your kind words and advice when I met you... Andrew

John and Brian.. I have always supported you, and was most disheartened again to hear your comments on this forum. I thought now I had left as chairman, the onslaught of abuse would stop. I always enjoyed Stoneleigh, but advocated for something different, as it was getting a bit stale in my...
