Even in the torrential rain we had on the road trip, water coming in via the NACA ducts was not an issue. As Ryan said above, closing the eyeball vents effectively stops air flow from the two wing vents and for the central vent the cavity below the demister grille appears to not allow water...

Great to hear Jim.

Would have happily shared some rain with you Mesa, if I could have.

OK, considering it was absolutely torrential at times. I took things very carefully when there was standing water as the thought of aquaplaning was never far from my mind. A few of the cars (even those with 4WD) admitted to having some moments. The car leaked like a sieve of course, but we...

The pair of young professional photographers who accompanied the tour got some nice shots of the cars.

Toyota Corollas came out in 1998 in an orangish bronze very similar to that (in NZ at least). Apricot Pearl metallic (code 4N4). It won't be the same colour, but to my eye it looks close.

That looks lovely.

Pah! Mere amateur Andy. Try almost 19 years... ;)

1955 Austin A30. 803 cc of raw power. Sorry about the scan - cameras back then were not what they are now.

Certainly looks like a Lucas item. Maybe an L594, which came with clear, amber and red lenses. I know many years ago some trucks and vehicles towing trailers were required to show a roof mounted blue light, but no idea if they were sourced from.

1862 km (1157 miles) covered and around 300 litres guzzled. Torrential rain on two of the days leading to a half hour stop to sort a problem caused by water getting into the cooling fan circuit. Other than that, the car ran faultlessly. Fantastic trip.

Yes.

Inglese and Redline both offer manifolds for the 351W.

A few little jobs over the past three weeks to get everything on the car up to scratch… i.e. install longer rear springs so that I could bring the rear ride height up a tad to cope with roads that may not be billiard table smooth, change out the plug leads for better quality ones to eliminate...

Accident happened about the 1st of June this year.

I know the car. Don't think he is a member on here. Very nice ERA. Fortunately no-one injured.

PM sent.

Try George Stock in Auckland NZ https://www.georgestock.co.nz/product-category/auto-parts/suspension-products/koni-shock-absorbers/ They supplied mine and may still have some in stock.

You could try Crosthwaite and Gardiner. I know they do an 8" Halibrand style GT40 wheel in magnesium, but not sure about BRM style.
