Re: Marks KUY 475

A star of stage and screen. And how fortunate but worthy reward for diligent research. Moreover, a quite professional rendering.

Shelsey Walsh. I had occasion this week to attend a funeral in Worcester of an ex colleague who for many years was a leading light in Shelsey Walsh/Midland Auto Club. Many of the mourners were from Shelsey/Midland Auto Club including a few Morgan owners who asked after Peter Sargent, Chris Springill...

Re: Pomeroy Trophy

The venerable Tony Lees in the third oldest car. No garage statues these old cars and lovely to see them presented and enthusiastically driven.

Re: 1963 4/4 series v pre cross-flow.

buy it now price including commission is just under £40 k . I would assume a very narrow market for this type of car. it looks great. Out of my range for a 4/4. Mary, Andy , Jack , Leigh will know the car, and of course Brett from the Brands Hatch mafia. Machiel you startled me with mention of Goodw...

1963 4/4 series v pre cross-flow.

1963 4/4 1500 series v pre cross-flow with racing and rallying history failed to sell at Race retro Classics at Silverstone. It looks in exceptional condition and previously had FIA papers.

Dont mention the war.

"We have ways of making you talk.” Advert on the Berlin Metro for the Berlin School of English. Now for a Pre season rant. Put your vanity aside and stay close to the phones as it could well be that a high profile position will be available within the F1 Circus. If not just now, then at the end...
