I read that Paul Hawkins fitted the Hewland and that was one of the reasons for his success with the car, being able to easily and quickly change all ratios to best suit individual circuits.
Hi guys:
Although I seldom post, I do keep an eye on this website: I'm still around, and so is AM2 which has been with me for over 20 years now.
I don't recall ever hearing or reading that Paul ever fitted a Hewland. It has, and so far as I know, has always had a standard ZF.

You posted the last photo while I was typing slowly!
When did the snorkels disappear?
What size rims did Paul finish up with?
Pictures would be great!
Hi Jack,
Many thanks for the reply. It must have been the ZF that caused some issues in Buenos Aires in 1970.
I'll let my friend know where the car is now, he has some excellent period pictures of himself in the car at full flight during the 1969 Sportscar Championship. We have spoken at length about the car, but we didn't know where it ended up.
