Sorry folks but one day i will find pictures of the rear clips off the Alan Mann lightweights I have. Like Mike said all Alan Manns cars were built by his team even the MKII entries for 1966 Le Mans. The chassis were numbered AM GT-1 and 2 for the Lightweights and XGT-1,2 and 3 for the MKII's...

Andrew on page 176 of Ronnie Spains book there is a MKI P/1021 with ribs rather than holes in the steering wheel this is a racecar Two other examples are the prototype road car P/1013 and the M3/1102 both with no holes or ribs. Regards Allan

Hi Folks Due to lack of people who could come tonight I am cancelling tonight Colney Fox meeting. Perhaps there will be a better turnout in September? Regards Allan

I am not going to read every posting but I will throw a spanner in the works that you can all use. Peter Sutcliffes GT40P/1009 was supply to him part completed so he could save paying Purchase Tax on the Car? This by definition was a Kit car (supplied in parts) but not a replica!!! A number of...

I know when the Safir MKV continuation cars where made they had to put "Powered by Ford" on their side stripes. I know a lot of the GT40's now have Ford on their side stripes. Some of the original MKI and MKIII road cars had the letters Ford on the front of there noses. I have not seen a current...

The Getty captions are misleading obviously the 1967 car is not a MKIV but GT40P/1020 Ford France racing with the first JWAE/Gulf type tail singe rear lights. Regards Allan

Hi Grahame my friend Mark sent me this unfortunately I do not know how to post attachments but Ive attached this file to this post and hope it opens I attach copy of JW parts list. Where the arrows point there are 2 mounting brackets (triangles) that the number plate bar is mounted on-- from...

Grahame I do not know if this helps but if you have Ronnie Spains book go to page 243 It shows MKI road car P/1044 with its number plate missing. It shows a bar goung across and the mount for the number plate. What it does not show is where the bar goes to or its mounting points. It could be the...

I think with the P4 replicas and I am not putting them down but they do not have the P4 screen mould available and you can tell there not real P4's the only ones that look 100% are the 350P spyder replicas thy look real. I went to Graypauls in the 1980's and saw David Clarke Ferrari 330P4 he...

Bet it will get an invite for the GRRC Club 73rd bash next year?? Regards Allan

Andrew since were using the same source Ronnie. I always though that the early cars 1965 onwards had the option of Halibrands when they could get hold of this since these were in short supply? If the GT40's that raced in 1965 could use 6 spoke aluminium type wheels surely they would have been...

Dave,The only Photo of Felix that I found on GT40s.net was when it raced at Spa. Can you direct me to the Nurburing Photos? Many thanks Allan

Hi Mark and Andrew I do not think they were called Alan Mann wheels. I know the Alan Mann P68 Ford 3 litre ran on 5 spoke. I think they were an option of 5 or 6 spokes probably still JWAE/BRM. As far as I can gather. There were JWAE/BRM type wheels earlier than 1967. In the 1966 Le Mans...

Are you going to sell these outside the USA? I am in the UK/ Regards Allan
