John,
I have just returned from two days at the Autosport International Show to find a parcel marked "From the U.S.A."
Upon opening, nestling amongst the packing was a blue box containing a marvel of modern technology - A transluscent GT40 encased in crystal. It is out of this world.
Even my wife, though not the greatest GT40 fan in the world (She is getting tired of me saying "One day, I'll have one of those!"), thinks it is superb. She suggests that I put it away for Christmas 2004. No chance!
Now, how to best illuminate it.
Incidentially, while at the Show, I had the opportunity to have a close look at Grahams 917 - Very impressive. Are you planning to run it or the GT40 at Oulton Park or Croft this year, Graham?
There are some exotics at the show well worth seeing.
Again John, many thanks.
Best regards, Geoff.
P.S. Spoke to Chris Knapman of Collectors Car Books, and was told that "Creating the Ford GT40" should be out mid year at about £50.00. Also that the Gordon Jones/John Allen book should be reprinted by the end of the year - Updated and priced in the three figures. Luckily I have the original. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
