I do not believe that this is from a GT40. I think the original instruments were by Smiths, not Stuart Warner

I have fitted a starter button from the Honda 2000. It looks just like the one fitted to the Aston Martin Vanquish but of course costs a fraction of the price. It is a red circular button with chrome trim and on the button in white letters it says Engine Start. It looks great!

I am selling my Renault 21 Turbo gearbox which has been completely reconditioned by Chris Cole at Mach I Transmissions and has the Quaife LSD (limited slip differential) fitted as well as the syncho modifications. Price for this on unit on its own = £1,000. In addition to the above, I am also...

Just received the same note - and yes I am definitely interested in purchasing one! Martin

What an awesome match - I literally couldn't sit down the whole match it was so exciting. Australia did well to come back into the game at the end but in the end the best team one. Well done ENGLAND - the World Champions

Belated Happy Birthday Paul (just got back from Amsterdam watching the Scots get a drubbing in the Euro qualifiers). 40 years old somehow seems a fitting age! Martin

Shannon One other item that has not been mentioned (and I do not know if it is relevant to your climate) is a denhumidifier with permanent drainage option. This is an essential part of my garage and other Brits on the forum will understand why! I have found that it has a major impact in...

Without doubt the best I have seen

The auction closed at $133k. The reserve price was $240,000. I bid $110,000 for the car - rather optimistically. Martin

Faili Were those IDAs or IDFs? Martin

You should check with Frank Catt but I believe a pair are around £700 trimmed in the leather colour of your choice.

There are exceptions for the instances that you refer to but I was planning to keep the car, not re-export it after a short period.

Indeed I have a set and they are very good indeed, much better than any of the others on the market I have seen

In terms of duty and imports into the UK, import duty is added at 10% and then VAT (value added tax) is applied at 17.5% to the total cost i.e. car plus freight plus import duty. This clearly significantly increases the cost of the acquisition. If the car counts as an item of historical...

Rob They look great. When are they going to be available and do you know how much a complete set up is for the 302? Martin

I bid for the Safir on E-bay ($110,000) but was outbid at the last minute by someone who bid $133,000. However, he didn't get it either as the reserve was not met. I thought it was too good to be true when I saw how low the other bids were but thought I would go for it on the offchance ...

Anybody know roughly how much it would cost to ship a car from the West Coast to the UK (shipping, import duty, insurance etc)? Thanks, Martin

The stuff that comes in an aerosol does work. Andrew Fordyce and I were driving back in our 40s a few months ago from Lydden Circuit where we had just done a sprint and he got a puncture in one of his front tyres. He "repaired" the tyre with that gunk and it managed to get him home - which was...

Chris was kind enough to let me feel the weight of the front and rear clips whilst at the GTD40 Club AGM and they are incredibly light - so I agree that with a Gurney Weslake engine inside it, this car is going to be very quick. Congratulations again Chris on this incredible find. Martin

Count me in Paul!
