    Just spotted this pair of Simca SEV Marchal N.O.S. headlamps on eBay UK....might be of use to someone? They appear to have a lever arrangement to switch between left-dip / right-dip. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144264384516 No connection with vendor. Just my usual Friday browsing of the small...

    May the Fourth....

    To commemorate, I've been busy in the workshop...with some left-over stainless water pipes from the GT40, a lump of aluminium round bar, bit of black Acetal round bar, some plastic strips and multicoloured LED tape:- Inner chassis (to hold control circuitry, battery, charge port...

    Vans RV-12i

    Popped round to my mate Andy's house yesterday to return a book he'd lent me (How to Build a Car - Adrian Newey's autobiography...a very good read) and found him building his kit plane:- There is so much crossover between building an aircraft of this type and a monocoque chassis - blind...

    302 teardown and rebuild UK

    As mentioned in my build thread, I recently bought a '69 302 for rebuild:- Which looks like a '68-style casting, but poured in March '69? Go easy on me if I've got this wrong! Aluminium tag is still in place, which makes me think it's not been apart, but what about these threaded gallery...

    Powerlite RAC407 starter motor

    Hi all I am just test-fitting this unit to my 302 / adaptor plate / UN-1 combination, and it fouls the engine block...just slightly. I'll try and get a photo later, but has anyone else had to relieve the block to get one of these units to fit correctly? Thanks, Eddy

    UN1 shift pattern

    I have yet to collect my rebuilt UN1/013 from Chris Cole (should be this coming week) and have a question about shift pattern. Does the use of an original-style shifter like this one, and this type of rear linkage result in 1st being away from the driver like a standard pattern, or towards the...

    Southern GT #48

    I am delighted to say that I have just been to collect Southern GT chassis #48 from Mick and the team, together with a pre-cut aluminium panel set, wishbones and fasteners. Doesn't sound like much, but I'm sure it'll keep me out of mischief for a while. Collecting chassis in a LWB Merc...

    Hello from Lancashire

    Hi all, I owned my first GT40 in 1972. It was absolutely beautiful - the best car I'd owned up to that point. The only problem was that the wheels didn't turn properly...I think I'd used too much polystyrene cement on the wheel hubs, after all, I was only 7 years old. I have yet to own my...
