Sheffield Group meeting in the Alps - Tony Griffiths - 16-08-2023

Part of the Sheffield Group assembly for the Derbyshire White Peak Run in Switzerland. Mike Costigan points out the next 8,000-foot pass to attempt before lunch. Chris Wells, the builder of the 1923 works racer replica, looks anxious.
Mike wonders how we ended up on the Italian coast.

I now have this serious problem. If the price is attributed to “Tony Griffiths” is it a genuine location shoot, or is is a photoshop invention? I think we should be told!

Howard

We put him in the boot of the racer - and smuggled him in.

The black A7 behind Mike is one of the rare 8’6” wheelbase variety. Or is that another Tony Griffiths’ manipulation of reality?

No, that was the shot of you with your hand in your pocket...Smile

Bruce, the chap with his hand in his pocket is Ivan. As you may remember I am much taller and even more handsome than Ivan.

No, it's just an artefact of the camera lens (well, phone lens). I can make it longer if you wish.... or shorter....or taller....or thinner.....
Did you hear about the Mk.3 Ruby V8? Only one was made (in the crazed mind of the designer):
