You won,t get another chance.

Well work is progressing, albeit slowly at times, on the FIA Lola T70 mk3B. Body work is nearly done and all holes and vents have been done, front and rear lights, windows, etc, trial fitted and packed away, and shortly the body can come off the chassis and stored ready for paint !! My big...

On the eve of the Historic Layer Marney Towers economy cup, established in 1914, I was commissioned to do one of the most glamourous photoshoots that I and Gulf Oil UK have been involved with. I took some of my own "phone pictures", a couple of which I thought you might like. We managed to...

I require a Hewland LG 500 (4 or 5 gear) gearbox and have a Porsche G50 and ZF 5-25 gearbox in good order plus £s .. to swop for a reasonable condition one. Any one out there with one gathering dust please?

URGENT. Not for me, but urgently required for a colleague. A GTD or similar Mk1 front nose in almost any colour or state of repair, but usable. Will travel anywhere in UK for right one. Can anyone help please.

Any one else going to Spa and this glorious meeting and circuit next week ? I,m racing in the One hour race with the 917K and hoping for some better fortune this time round. Some recent issues have been sorted out, and I,m praying for dry weather, at a circuit which is famous for giving four...

It is all go now as 2017 season gets going. Had 917 out at Brands Hatch(Indy circuit) last week to run in rebuilt engine, following its "nasty" at Silverstone last year, and to test her out in readiness for the GP circuit race in a couple of weeks. Although everything ran up in workshop...

Urgently required. One or preferably two old, but USABLE Spax front shock absorbers for GTD 40. Springs not required, but will take them if I have to. PM me if you can help please. Thank you. Graham.

Help please. My new engine build sports a CompCams BY35-770-8 camshaft. For once I did not build this engine up, but the builder has said that I need a steel distributor gear for this set up. I,m troubled by this, as according to what I can find out the camshaft is an austempered core...

With the new race season starting soon, things are a little hectic and cramped in the workshop. I really must have a tidy up because its embarrassing. A very expensive rebuilt Porsche engine now back in 917 after its Silverstone blow up, GT40 awaiting its new exhaust to arrive, and T70 being...

Does anyone know of a UK stockist of all the MSD ignition system, (6AL2 power pack, coil, non vacuum steel geared distributor) for Ford 302 SB V8, under one roof. Damned if I can find one. Have I got to order it all from the USA?

Well, apart from Brian Kissel knowing, I,ve kept this quiet, but can now announce that I have completed my dream trio of cars to race. I have purchased a Marauder T70 Mk3b replica in a complete but poor, total strip and rebuild state, but with title/registration. This is going to be my last...

No matter who, what, wherever ................................ A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.

Have tried to contact Brian Kissel several times by private email via this site and direct, but all to no avail. Does anyone know if he is OK.

Silverstone three weeks ago ... qualifying went well. Unfortunately the race, eight laps in, did not. I pride myself on preparation and reliability, but when an oil breather pipe lets go from the top of a Porsche engine, I just want to head butt a brick wall ...

With the new gear change and various "tweaks" completed, and this years races looming, I am now considering a new "dog box". Will the RSPCA need to know? The vet has said he does not want to be involved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was good to meet fellow club members at RaceRetro last week. I say fellow club members, as I rejoined the club in January, after a long absence. By email I was told that I had been given my old membership number and that I would receive ............................................... er...

Brands Hatch beckoned my 917 for the first time last weekend and despite the twisty and short circuit it behaved brilliantly. Using just one gear we were able to get fastest time overall for our class. Unfortunately we were tapped into a spin going into Druids in the first race so no chance...

A race photographer has just sent me this period looking picture taken at the last outing in November. Thought you might like it also. I,ve done a lot more original type upgrading since i last posted about the engine blow up. Lightweight rear end and rear light back plates, wider trays and...
