Back to Cars

[John Lowe]

'Ello

The main reason I joined this Forum was the high signal to noise ratio and all the good ideas and technical information. The other stuff is important too but unfortunately attracts a disproportionally high number of the for Gods sake get a life sad fringe of nutters. You know the sort of bloke; where you'd rather break a leg than spend an evening in a pub with them

So its back to the cars boys.

Went round to see Terry Hennerby of Speedwell Replicas yesterday as he has finished an RCR build (he does them for a living). Terry has been most helpful to me giving freely of his advice in my RCR build (he lives fairly local to me, about 45 minutes drive). I was much taken with the colour of the car and thought a few piccies were in order (Terry is on one of them) for others to drool over. Anyway it is time that the RCR40 guys hit back at all the time on the forum given over to the SL-C (which, in fairness, is to my eyes the most beautiful of all the modern supercars except maybe the McClaren F1).

I have no business connection with Speedwell Replicas

Frantastic or what

Much agreed. Beautiful car there!! How is your build coming? What challenges have you faced with the LS7 in the Mk-I chassis? I know Fran makes provisions for everything, but have you had any road blocks yet? What about that ZF-Q transaxle? Any little trick things you're planning to do on your car that you'd like to share with us?

Laters,

Brian

As hit backs go:

GT40's 1, SL-C's 0.

'Kent' isn't far from me but thats like saying I live in 'Surrey'.... would love to go and see some of theirs (and Fran's) handy work.

Hey John, thanks for the offer, I'm in sunny Purley (yeah right), A23/M23 is outside my door, not sure how far that is from you guys?

 

[Casey Cook]

Hey a pic with Terry in it......when you chat with someone often and know there voice but not their face you wonder what they look like. Nice to put a face with the voice, lol!


Beautiful car there!

Terry is about 40 minutes from you along the M25 and south of Maidstone (Kent). My pad is in Lindfield, straight down the M23 and on the North East corner of Haywards Heath in Lindfield, about 35 minutes.

GREAT looking car, wasn't it featured in a magazine?

 

[john]

The color and workmanship is gourgous!! needs Webers IMHO

I very seldom give compliments... But yours is well deserved. BRAVO!!!!!

 

[TERRY SPEEDWELL]

Mark,
Yes you are right, It was in TOTAL KITCAR
January 2009.

Heres another pic. Terry

 

[TERRY SPEEDWELL]

John,
The colour is different, but it works well.

This car has a simple fuel set-up, not to juicey!
thanks for the compliment.

Hi Terry,

Found the article in TKC very interesting. I wish you good luck with your enterprise.

One question, I noted in the intro to the article that it stated that you are now the RCR UK agent.

Could you advise if this is in relation just to cars procured through yourself, or are you going to act as a point of contact for any RCR queries for any RCR cars supplied in UK, so we do not have to keep bothering Fran direct.

I was going to get in touch with Fran shortly regarding some data for SVA application and just wondered if this should come via yourself instead?

Regards

Dave
