    Help wanted. Original Gulf car engine/trans cooler circuits.

    Hi Elliot, regarding transaxle oil cooling the ZF was available to order with a built in mechanical oil pump within the rear black cover casting. As I recall the oil was drawn directly internally within the transaxle casing into the pump. A dash 6 line exits the rear cover to the oil cooler then...

    New Jaguar Lightweight E types dubbed replicas by Goodwood

    The comment made by LM was understandable in as much as it was a public statement made on a tv show. He and his events have an image and a perception to be maintained. For the vast majority of spectators attending the GWR they believe they are experiencing the real deal whereas some of us know...

    To foam or not to foam...

    Hi Jayson, I have aircraft spec foams in my GT40 tanks which were produced by ATL at Milton Keynes. For those of you in the USA they are US owned with a UK subsidiary. Back in 2003 I supplied the tanks and ATL custom cut and installed the foam blocks, as I recall in 2 or 3 separate...

    Le Mans Classic - Driving in France

    On our way down to the LM24 earlier this month there was a long holdup on the Thursday afternoon on the dual carriageway north of Alencon. There was some sort of Cannonball style run down from Calais which the police took an unhealthy interest in, spoiling the fun of the stupid bu--ears driving...

    8 Stack fuel injection

    A friend of mine has a TWM set up on his Safir since 4 or 5 years and they do the job perfectly and look almost authentic. He found the set up a bit fiddly but with a couple of hours on a rolling road dyno the throttle bodies are a big improvement to the Webers and for sure much more responsive...

    Topless doors

    A friend here in UK has them on his Safir and which were a standard option back in the 80's when Peter Thorp produced his beautifully engineered continuation run of cars. They are an excellent, practical and effective solution to the GT40 bugbear of cabin heat soak and when not in use the...

    Current LMP replica – is it possible?

    The Lola in the photo above is owned by as friend of mine and coincidently I casually asked him about the cost of a front clip, as Fran said replacement bodywork from Lola is eye wateringly expensive, this being about £120k and a similar amount for the rear. The car may be for sale if anyone is...
