If anyone saw Jonathon Ross last Friday he had Vivian Westwood? on and she gave a little speech asking people to look at www.rainforestsos.com and sign up to do your bit to support Prince Charles etc and help stop destruction of rainforests. They dont blame cars, planes, shipping etc for...

Hi Ian, I havent had an email but maybe its only been sent to area co`ordinators? I`m not sure who would know whether thats the case. I had a call from someone about the trip yesterday saying the proposed location of the club campsite is being changed. That would be a shame because it was...

I`ve only seen the headline and not the detail so forgive me if this is a dumb question. Does anyone know if this will apply to new cars in component form?

Cheers Ken I`ll have a look at that. Kev

Thanks Chris for your kind comments. Yes Jackie did sign my drivers door on the window cill, inside so it doesnt get rubbed off hopefully. Thanks again to Michael for all his hard work putting on a great event at a really nice venue. Kev.

Nice one Brian, thanks for posting the pic. While talking to Jackie I asked him if he knew why the number circle on the rear deck had a piece cut out of it. I had copied it on my car and have often been asked why it was like that. He said he didnt know so he asked Richard Bray (one of the...

I agree with you Ian it was a really good day. Michael put on a great event at a really nice venue. It was a long day for Gill and I ( up at 4.30am and arrived home at 10.15pm ). I would have liked to have talked to David Piper and Richard Attwood but the day was over too soon, as tends to...

Dave, I stand corrected. Apologies if I touched a nerve, its becoming a habit lately. Now I`ve been reminded what yours looks like its obviously very different from the ebay car. I`ve no idea what it is. Kev

There was a kit made in the UK by Dax? that was 2" taller in the cabin. It didnt do anything for me being a GT42. The proportions were all wrong. If memory serves the project was sold to a guy who died in a plane crash before he could do much with it. Others with better memories might correct me...

Hi ? I have had an inverted box in my 40 since I built it way back. Mine is a 369 like yours and yes it works fine. Bruce is correct about reversing the diff if you want/need to. It depends what is relevant to your setup. If you decide to invert it you will need to change the breather position...

I received my mag on Monday and havent had chance to read it all yet. I expect it will be good as usual but my reason for posting is nothing to do with the content. Its the statement in large letters in full view on the address sheet X not renewed for 2009. I`ve paid my subs every year since...

Bill, glad to be of help. It will still be of interest to someone out there. Kev

Hi Bill, I think you had better check the date on the literature. GTD as we know it did not exist in 82. The same guys were building cars but not 40`s. That was the year I first saw a 40 replica in "Alternative Cars" and it was the first KVA mk3. A one off build then which was later put into...

Mark, I should add that the mk1 came while the early chassis was still being used so you can get a KVA mk1 with the early chassis. This though is a mk3 and its either got GTD suspension and subframes or has had a complete chassis swap as happened to quite a few. Kev Farrington

Yes Mark, its a mk3. All early KVAs were. The mk1s came later. Kev Farrington

KVA were at Swansea, South Wales, the photos also show GTD rear suspension. GTD started life by supplying their own front and rear suspension and subframes to fit KVAs before going on to make their own chassis and then bodies too. Kev Farrington

I dont Know what difference, if any, it makes because my car has always been like it but I have very dark tinted strips along the top of the windscreen and the door windows like the Gulf cars. Maybe you could experiment with the idea to see if it helps with temperature. While on the subject does...

Hi Graham, I cant believe I missed you, although I only went into the paddock on Saturday and spent much of the time dodging showers. I should have tried again on Sunday. See you another time then, Cheers, Kev

Hello Graham, I was looking forward to seeing your car in action and having a look at it in the paddock but it wasnt to be. I was watching the action on the straight past the first bridge. When I went into the paddock later I couldnt see you anywhere so I assumed you`d put it away out of sight...

Hi Nick, Nice Photos. I really enjoyed the weekend, great cars, fast boats and helicopters everywhere. The GT40 Enthusiasts display was really good thanks to Pete Thompsons efforts. His idea for the Le Mans pit wall behind the 40s was really effective and well received. This is going to be a...
