Fantastic Fordwater Trophy race at Goodwood Revival ~ MEG led from the line ~ and Wylie was there!
Above (l to r):- Antonio Bertini’s Speedwell GT chases Paul Woolmer’s BXN through Woodcote (photo thanks to Tony Wilson-Spratt) – MEG leads the field at the end of Lap 1 with Nick Swift’s MiniDART in hot pursuit – 7080AC on stands with overdrive problems (Jack Wheeler in his usual overcoat alongside) – the alloy-bodied Sebring/LeMans Sprite of Jim Prentice which finished 8th. – Full report click here
An unusual item, this DHMC key fob is now available on ebay:
Michael Meerlo’s newly completed fastback and Stephen Bowen’s WJB 707 watch from the car park.
Another Fastback, Derek Stewart’s replica (No.61) should be finished shortly and will be in College Blue.
A couple of shots of Ian Ashfield’s new Fastback replica (above) with its Monza bonnet, nearing completion at Archers Garage. The car will be on the MASC stand at the NEC, Birmingham in November.
And Graeme Henderson’s now has its wheels on ~ wow does it look good in those colours!
Another photo of the Falcon Sprite at Sebring appears to confirm that it did have a screen (at least before the race start).
An unusual bonnet this ~ it belongs to Dick Plant and looks a bit like an Ashley one but has separate metal panels at the sides!
Mike Wylie has sent me some pictures of 505 BZ ~ his Speedwell GT. Look out for its story very soon.
Rene Bloemen has a rather different Sebring Fastback (left) which appears to have been modelled on Chris Keeble’s RTL 304 with air scoops behind the doors and pointed side windows like a Speedwell. He is preparing it for rallying on the continent and a great deal of lightening seems to be going on.
JJO on the tight little Stowe Circuit during the “MG Live” weekend ~ I did a track day there as well, with “MGs on Track” the following month (right, photo thanks to Martin Charles). All great fun.
Steve Casson‘s replica is progressing well and is to bear the registration
956 VMV
Pete Taylor now has a website covering the build of his Sebring streamliner replica: http://spritestreamliner.blogspot.com/
Ian Grainger kindly keeps me posted on progress with
2214 UE (above) which now looks very good with its roof fully refitted
