Did I say thanks Fran?

Hi Guys, I am pleased to announce that the first 2 RCR 40's have left Fran's factory today, en-route to the UK. Fran has manufactured and shipped these cars, well within his quoted time of 16 weeks and I wanted to thank him publicly for all that he has done for both me and my UK customers...

Re: RCR in the UK!!!! Hi Rob, Thanks. Yes, me again! I wont be beaten by any of this you know..... I am pleased to say that I am now the official importer of the RCR (GT40, Porsche and Lola) for the UK and Europe. This is great for two reasons: 1. It is a top car and we deserve to have...

Hi John, It is indeed me in the bike mag and the ride is being offered in my demonstrator (which arrives with yours!) With regard to your proposed trip (and I dont feel you are putting me on the spot here) I think it will probably really depend on our workshop time (fitting your engine and...

John, Thanks for your post. The photos that were posted by Dave Yorke were sent to ALL the uk customers the same day we received them. Is your email address working? With regard to your letter, I received it last Friday night ie 3 days ago and if you check your voicemail, you have already...

Hi Philip, RF has a distributor in Germany also. If you want his contact details, please either send me a personal message or call me direct on 0044 7771 844884 Best wishes, Rick Chattell

Further to Roberts last. I had a problem with one of the CAV replicas (prior to current ownership) The car ran on FI and the high pressure pump would overcome the low pressure pumps, draw fuel from both tanks (even though it should only have been drawing from the active tank) but it could only...

Hi, I now have the price for the 6spd mod. There are two options: 1. You can drop (or send) the gearbox to us at Dunsfold and we will carry out the mod for you. Cost for this is £185 + VAT 2. Send us your selector shaft casing and we will modify it for you and supply you with a new...

Hi Mark, I will post a confirmed price tomorrow (Thurs) We will also have a price for the 5spd shortly Rick

Shit Dave - you are right! Brett - dont blame you! Nice one...

Hi all, A few people have been trying to contact me by email. Apologies, but I had to change it due to the fact that I was being offered several penis enlargements every day. I wouldnt mind this (because an extra few inches is always welcome) but when I was offered vaginal surgery I thought...

Re: Jerry Evans I did of course mean Jerry! There you go, the GT40S spelling bug has caught me too! Rick

Hi all, Just wanted to congratulate Gerry Evans on the completion of his RF (the very first in the UK) We showed the car in its component form last year at Exeter and we are showing it this year fully built (resplendant in black) and ready to go. Gerry has built this car in the evenings and...

Hi Don, Welcome to the community! Which replica did you go for and why did you choose it? Rick

Hi Brett - how are you? At the moment we have tooled up for the 6 spd. As you will be aware, the five speed is slightly different, but would be an easier conversion and so we would be happy to convert these also. Due to the differences in the selector shaft, the five speed will probably...

Dear All, Thruxton Sports Cars (Dunsfold) is now offering a selector shaft and casings modification to the Audi box, to suit a right hand shift. We have decided to remanufacture the selector shaft (in silver steel) which plainly avoids any welding of the shaft, obviating any possible...

Hi All, Just wanted to add my little bit to all this as the UK distributor. I think we (RF) need to remember the two most important things. One is quality and the other is communication. On the quality front - Robert has a deserved (and hard fought) reputation for building extremely high...

Hiya, First RF in UK is in the south of UK. Do call me if you want to see it. Rick 07771 844884

No offence meant, but thats BOLLOCKS Lynn! You read too much into a few phrases. I merely mean that if one has to design and build a decent chassis, set up and lay (or purchase from someone else) a decent body, then back the whole thing up with a sensible build manual and add all the...

Re: Factory Five\'s Quasi-Clone I reckon you guys are being a bit harsh It is a little unusual - and when compared to a 40 obviously not as attractive - but it is not THAT bad. Might be worth waiting for the MK 2 though - as my old flying instructor once said "never fly the MK1 of...
