A great day out at the 60th Anniversary here in the UK. Enjoy the video ;-) https://youtu.be/QFIhYiCVY7E

The final few touches and Demon Tweaks and I think she is back to her best. Many thanks to my lovely wife Yisa for allowing me the garage time to polish the jewel and bring out her best. A brief history over the last 18 months and as we are Today.

Its been w while and I've spent lots of time tinkering on the car trying to get that feeling of perfection with the way she drives. Not being 100% with the current set up, time for a step backwards. Magic Results - Video link below:-

Can’t wait to see more on this.

Just a quick observation with the steel making up the box sections that form the front of the chassis. They look zinc coated. ? It may just be the lighting but if it is zinc coated please note that the fumes from the zinc when you weld are very harmful. Every effort should be made to remove...

The Southern raised the bar.

Congratulations. You chose well. The best option to purchase in the UK. Southern GT on which the AK is based raised the bar on UK offerings. PS, Bloody nice garage !

A long time since my last upload as been doing a little tweaking with the car and getting her more to my liking with the 44 IDF's. In has gone electronic ignition to replace the dual points set up. Been playing with the Dizzy advance and the carb balance etc. etc. Now she starts well...

Best of luck Dan. Fantastic car I’ve had the pleasure of seeing many times.

Hi Everyone, As a part of the ongoing development of the car, I've made another change since moving over to the Weber IDF's. After speaking to a few people I decided to add some inlet manifold air bleed lines to the header tank. My Weber inlet manifold does not have any channel (just blocked)...

Quick update as the car is readied for the Le Mans classic now only a month away. Looks like I’ve solved the slight misfire and rich running. New idle Jets and a carb swap out seem to solved the issues. some slight fine tuning to fully balance the carbs but the video below should tell the...

Hi Udo, I believe we have a 10 bedroom Villa booked relatively close to the circuit. A friend made the booking. We are travelling down as a group as we are all on the same Ferry. I’ll drop you a PM when I clarify the location.

Just sailed through the UK MOT (Ministry of Transport) annual test. No advisories. ;-) Over 27 years old and getting better with the years ! Less than 2 months to go before her day with destiny, a trip to Le Mans For the Classic ! Magic.

Good to say that job is now done and dusted. Everything came Together just right with the Southern GT rod change addition to my GTD. Minimal cabin changes made and along with the new (not 27 year old sticky) throttle cable, she is now a pleasure to drive. Far more confidence in moving up and...

Been taking my time to swap the existing cable change mechanism out for a Southern GT rod change with the reverse lock off. I set out to do this with as little change to the car interior as absolutely possible. Simply didn’t want to go cutting the GTD chassis around or the internal panelling...

Really nice job there, very impressive.

Where are you located Chris ?

Three days in with the job of stripping out the existing cable change mechanism on my GTD and replacing with a rod system designed for a Southern GT. Not the greatest marriage of parts to car given the difference in the chassis designs but all in all it gone well so far. Going to make good...

Hi Chris, I will check my garage as I think I may have a set of GTD front uppers and lowers. Will let you know.
