Hello Richard, I cant believe that it is an original 40 for that price. More likely its one of the current crop of new cars built to original spec. They tend to be around that price. Originals that I have seen for sale usually have 7 digit price tags. Just my thoughts, Kev Farrington

Ian have you thought about fitting mk3 style door windows that can be quickly removed. A glass sunroof on an old car I used to have worked like that. You opened it then unclipped the catch to remove the glass. It was quick to remove and replace. Just a thought. Kev Farrington.

Hi guys, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped us at the classic. We would have struggled without you, loading/unloading the 40, erecting/dismantling the tent, waiting for us so we didnt get lost etc etc. Most of all thanks to Richard for encouraging me to go in the first place. It was...

Hi Malcom, Just back from Le Mans and after seeing how good the HD lights are I`ve decided I need to get some. I`m probably too late but if a set is still available I would like to buy one from you. Thanks for your kind comments about my car by the way, (1075 in 69 Le Mans trim). Cheers for now...

Hi Guys, For what its worth I used Sev Marchal round driving lights from a Citroen DS. The ones that turn with the steering. If I knew how to post a picture i would. They are about the right size and look good. My car is a replica of 1075 in 69 LeMans trim. I have the correct Lucas lamps set in...

Hi Ian, A quick answer to the questions you started with. The first problem was what oil level to run, what to do about a breather and whether I needed an oil cooler. I had to experiment because nobody else that I know of had done this before. I overdid the oil initially but the box kindly...

Hi Ian, I`ve had an inverted R30 box in my car since I built it. The bellhousing is shaped to allow the diff to be reversed. Alpine GTA models run this way. If you can find one of these then that job is already done for you. Any questions just ask. It was over 15 years ago when I did it so it...

Thanks Paul, I look forward to receiving the news. Cheers for now, Kev Farrington

Hello again. I presume the agm has been and gone? I, like many others could not make it for various reasons and would of course like to know what happened regarding the proposed changes. Will we receive details in the post or will someone outline any changes here? I`m not familiar with the rules...

Please add me to your list Roy. I havent been to the classic before but it sounds too good to miss.

Got my agm letter today and saw the outline of the proposals. Obviously people at the agm will get the full picture along with reasons for the proposed changes. A three level? membership system seems a little complicated without knowing why. Those of us up north have always accepted the fact...

Hi guys, just a quick message from someone who paid his subscription this year because it was direct debit and went out before I knew there was a problem and that everyone was being given free membership for a year. I dont mind so much if I`m given the same courtesy next year. I`ve not had...

Apologies for not replying sooner but my daughter hogs the computer. Hard to make out whos there but I can see Chris Hunt who lives nr Chester and still has his car (not finished yet) Simon Osbourne, John Reynolds, Rob Bloom must be in there somewhere and of course Ray Christopher who started...

Thanks Julian, it never occurred to me that it would be a standard part so I`ll look into that. Thanks Ian I`ll investigate a bit further but Chris Coles std bellhousing wont work for me if thats what you are suggesting. Sorry I didnt reply over the weekend but I`ve got a 14 year old daughter...

Sorry if this has been covered, I did look but couldnt see it. I`m building another car and am inverting the Renault box again but this time want to avoid modified clutch forks and other bits hanging below the gearbox. I want to use a hydraulic release bearing but there isnt much space and was...
