The first magazine of 2009 contains:
- A reprint from Complete Kit Car summarising the differences between the new IVA and the SVA tests.
- Completion of Chris Simpson's build of one of the only 3 Roaring Forties to come out of South Africa.
- Part 2 of 3 describing Bernie Mylon's job as a mechanic in the late 1960s looking after AM-GT2 when it was owned by Paul Hawkins and Jose Juncadella.
- The Le Mans Classic from Claude Nahum's viewpoint, racing 1016.
I hope you enjoy it.
Magazine arrived Saturday morning. As always a good read. A special thanks to Tony for overcoming the technical issues.
All the articles are well written and full of interesting facts and information. For me I particularly enjoyed ....My Introduction To GT40's Pt.2".......by Bernie. Seemed to conjure up the way of life the race mechanic enjoyed (for this I mean endured!!!) in the 60's. Also the French cafe incident brought back memories of our trip to LMC last year. We were parked outside a restaurant in a little village and as we left all the restaurant staff including the owner, waiters/waitresses, cooks and kitchen staff came outside to inspect the car and hear us drive off.

Being a brand new member of the enthusiasts club, this is my first copy of Fortification, and what a great publication. A big thank you to all of you who contribute/help to make this mag happen. Lots of info and some very well written articles. I'll be ordering the CD of back copies very soon.
