Anyone who has caught B/Jackson on ‘Men and Motors’ would have witnessed the hype they achieve within the auction hall. Combine that with the wealth and ego of those there to buy and extraordinary sales values are realised. With the U.S. economy still holding strong you have a depth of people...

Julian/Martin - thanks both. Julian, I'll pursue the contacts provided and have a go at that trim ring :-) Martin - rather than waste any of your time I'll progress Julians suggestions. I sense all you guys know the right places to get things sorted - no doubt I'll be back for more wisdom then...

Hi people.Apologies if this mail should be posted elsewhere, but as my issues are GTD specific I thought this the logical place to start?. I'm really enjoying my recent purchase but have a couple of things I'd like to better and an identification issue as follows. 1. The radiator is showing...

Hi fellas - it's was my GTD on e-bay. First for those who are selling thru this route the sum of bids has nothing to do with the sum of interest. In all I had around twelve enquiries 4 of which were serious. The car has actually sold for 29,500 not the 28k shown - the only recorded bid. Last all...

well mine has a holley, renault box and is a mk11 - so we are in business right!!!!

HIYA DEAN - MIGHT BE SELLING MY GTD40. IF I DO, I WILL BE LOOKING FOR 30K +. CAR IS CORRECT - REQUIRES NOTHING. COME BACK IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

Hi - just to say my parts are now on route. the guy who is sending them works with quaiffe all the time - evidently they are not starting on this work for a few weeks yet.that said sooner the better.

Hi chaps - especially those i met for the first time at Le Mans.Thank you for the most memorable experience Thru some rather bizarre circumstances i may have the opportunity to acquire a KVA for not a lot -or nothing at all!!. The car is stored in a remote location and will mean 400 miles to...

Ian - sorry been away. Yes Langley Autocraft. Good guys. mention me and the car, and they will know i still care!! KK

Ian, I restored a 69 firebird 400 c/vertible couple of years back. I used Kings langley garage (i'll check their name again) who are on the 'happy valley' trading estate!!. They did a great job - part bear metal- leading/patching etc. So a couple of stripes should be a piece of cake.They did not...

Matt - are the webers still for sale??

Thanks fellas - I think I might move on from this idea !!

My cars engine bay is currently finished in a black powder coat. I want to refinish with polished panels. Any advise on do's and dont's. Plus has anyone drawings out there of the panels or do i have to take the exisitng as templates? thanks for any help. Keith

Without reading all the messages i'm sure many of we European owners would like to attend. Living in the UK I would appreciate your staging the event somewhere hot and sunny!!. If you dialled the gathering into an historic racing event, car show or similar that would make the journey all the...

Howard, yes they have all been R21. I'm only putting out around 300HP. The car has only been run on the road. Each failure has come following a few repeated 'full on' blasts thru the gears. The worst when I had just seen off a new ferrari to the plaesure of my passenger - only for us to...

Having waded thru all the mails on GTD - the one piece I can’t find (and perhaps the most important) is who, if anyone, has made/or made an approach to the liquidators in connection with moulds, stock etc etc. Forgive me if I have missed something but the liquidator has a duty to realise as much...

There you go Jules! from a man that knows! Thanks Paul for the reassurance. After all the financial pain endured, it will be great to get a permanent fix

Sorry just though - 1. You can buy one of my broken boxes and repair it!! Or better German/Swedish in Apsley Herts bizarrely sell Renault boxes ex stock for around 425 + vat guaranteed for 6 months - if you don't tell them what it is going in - unfortunately I did!!i think it's on an exchange...

Jules be careful. I bought my car last year and am now on my 3rd renault box rebuild in 5000 miles - not fun. now i might just be unlucky but each time the shaft has snapped. you will find there is a welding mod that is meant to strengthen the box - but my last box had that done and still...

the grown up solution i found was to cement into the driveway (in my case) three pairs of threaded steel inserts. I then had fabricated screw in uprights each with a welded capture plate to the top. the plates each accept two scaffold boards end to end which secure by simple locking pins. the...
