    Starter Motor

    I had his problem recently on my CAV solenoid and it turned out to be internal corrosion on the terminals. I removed it and sprayed WD40 in through the starter to solenoid screw holes and after a few clicks it came right and has been ok since. The securing screws have sealant on the taper which...

    The armed conflict 1939-45

    Having being born and lived in Zimbabwe all my life - except for the last four years - all I can say is we are waiting and hoping to see the tanks on the horizon. Somebody has to come and kick some sense into these idiots that have destroyed a beautiful country. ie. mugabe and his fellow...

    CAV's on Chapmans Peak Rd, Cape Town

    CAV\'s on Chapmans Peak Rd, Cape Town A couple of CAV's including mine were used in the making of a music CD. The scenery is breathtaking and the cars look pretty good as well. It is a large file but worth the wait. http://www.visualair.co.za/Video/HD_Feature/BehindTheScenes.wmv

    Fun in Cape Town

    it is possible to drive the gt40 in boots?

    The great thing about living in Cape Town is it is a very laid back society which means driving barefoot and walking around town barefoot barely raises an eyebrow. So unless we are going to the Opera the shoes remain in the cupboard! Good excuse to dress down!

    CAV GT in component form

    Having recently completed my CAV kit I thought I would share some of the fun I had building the car with the forum. After being an avid GT40 fan for many years and then discovering that the factory was not ten minutes from where I live in Cape Town, I paid them a visit. After deliberating for...
