    The legendary Le Mans suitcase

    I once remember reading that "back in the day", and the day included when the GT40's were running, that cars either had to have space for, or actually had to carry, this box simulating a suitcase. Anyone else have a thought? Thanks

    Old GT40 model kit

    I've recently dug out an old GT40 model kit and I'm just a bit confused even though I have, I think, a better than average knowledge of them. It seems to be a 1964 Mark I with the Indy engine, wire wheels and Dunlops. Yet, the nose seems to be a 65 and has canard. Is there any thought as to...

    Support vehicles

    Ford racing in the mid 1960's is an interest of mine, especially the races in Europe. One aspect of that is what I call "support vehicles". Not only the transporters themselves, but the one from suppliers such as Goodyear and Shell. I'm a modeler in 1/43 and if anyone has hints or suggestions...

    Shell Synthetic 30m castor

    I was looking at the technical from 1964 and noticed the component suppliers. Mention is made of "Shell Synthetic 30m castor" as the engine oil. My guess is that was something that was used back then not only in the GT40 but also by BRM and Ferrari racing cars. Does anyone know?

    Difference in GT40 model kits

    I have a very old kit from Revell/Monogram that sat forever and I'd like to finish but needs a couple of body parts that have been damaged. It came in a flat box with a white car #6 on the top. Do other Revell and IMC kits have the same moldings? Occasionally one pops up on Ebay at a good...

    Mid 60's display

    I just discovered this part of the forum. I'm a long time 1/43rd collector and Ford fan. My project is a display of Fords competing at LeMans, the Monte Carlo rally, etc. Support vehicles and mechanics, prototype billboards and to it. One thing that I would like to find are a preferably...
