PETER JAMES
I was sorry to learn from Kim Dear that we have lost yet another Sebring owner. Peter James was in the final stages of assembling his Fastback Sebring equipped with 7 port head and twin 40s. Our sincere condolences to his family. I understand his car will now be going up for sale.

I was very sorry to receive today the sad news that Mike Sutton, who built himself a Sebring Coupe Rep, has died.
He appointed the RSPB as his executors and they will, in time, be offering his car for sale.
If anyone should wish me to pass on their interest in the car please let me know via Feedback

WSM 50
The Celebration of 50 years of WSM cars
took place at Roothams Farm, Colmworth in Bedfordshire on Saturday last, 29th September.
On a bright sunny morning a good crowd of WSM enthusiasts past and present gathered at Paul and Sharon Woolmer’s premises to celebrate 50 years since Douglas Wilson-Spratt completed his first WSM Sprite.
Jim McManus (the ‘M’ in WSM) and Peter Jackson, both members of the original WSM team, cut the cake
