Re: Jo Bonnier\'s T70 MKIIIB
In his website:
http://www.bell-performance.co.uk/
Derek Bell (not the famous race driver) advertises:
"I own the body and windscreen moulds, and work with MDA (
www.gt40uk.com) who provide the chassis and running gear."
The site itself is lovely to read, especially the section where he found out about the inferior handling of his T70, before he modified the suspension.
I had a brief look at the GTD T70 in Cape Town, which is not for sale at the moment.
The last client who had the chance to buy it did let a fat change run through his fingers owning a lovely motorcar.
I hope to see him on the open track day 17 of october.
For reference:
Richard Dodkins races a T70 in the European Supersports (ex. Can-Am) with extemely wide rear fenders. Can’t find a pic at the moment.
Looking at Frank S climbing out, one wishes to have the "garage-door" version, but he must have been quite tired also.
He used up the tarmac from Killarney race track from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day – what a sight!
I hope he comes back next year.

I found the picture via Google.com.
