sorry you missed it - Tony Betts - 30-08-2021 Hi all, Sorry you missed the A47 autojumble and show. Overcast wheather, but a good tur out. Filled the top and bottom field. Austin 7 turn out getting better. I counted SIX. But there could be others that left before I got around to taking pics. As usual I was talking. If you are looking to buy? There was also a very nice Gordon England cup, Sorry to say I cant get it to upload. Maybe some else will have pics. Thanks tony. I think I've got it? Gremlins in the works RE: sorry you missed it - Tony Betts - 30-08-2021 If you like this sort of thing RE: sorry you missed it - Steve Jones - 30-08-2021 UI 6057. Now there's a car that has quite a story and a number of incarnations! Steve RE: sorry you missed it - Howard Wright - 30-08-2021 Hi Tony GT 40s I think. I had one in the seventies……. 1 / 42nd scale that ran on my Scalextric track . Cheers Howard RE: sorry you missed it - Tony Betts - 30-08-2021 If you fancy something a bit bigger. Tony.

Looks like a Jaguar XJR 9 in the background, remember seeing those race at Le Mans in the 1980s, seriously impressed seeing Andy Wallace light the rear up whilst travelling at enormous speed on his qualifying lap -ISTR that he was on pole that year, not that it's important in a 24 hour race. RE: sorry you missed it - Tony Betts - 31-08-2021 hi joe, thanks for that, i take it they were facebook or something simular. i only ever get to see pictures of my own car static hi stuart, i dont know if they were original or replicas, they looked good, sounded as good, and drew A LOT of attension. for me, and my opinion only. is i dont mind if they are original or repro. the main thing is they are being used. and if they are repros, there were plenty of people who were inspired by them being there. thanks tony RE: sorry you missed it - ppearson - 31-08-2021 Hi Tony, I was pleased to see the GT 40,s and it brought back memories of the 3rd May 2002 on the Isle of Man taking part in a round of the Bert Hadley Memorial Championship. On this day we were at the Creg-Ny-Baa hill climb and Bob Stirling in his Ulster and me in my Wragg single seater both recorded faster times than any of the GT 40's. It made many of the spectators very happy. Regards Peter RE: sorry you missed it - Tony Betts - 31-08-2021 hi peter, i think we will have to call that one horses for courses they dont look like they would enjoy a tight hill climb with sharp cornering. BUT. we might struggle a little bit to keep up. on a 0 to 200 mph drag race OR perhaps a lap or 2 at mallory. tony |
