GT6 at Scenley Park, Pittsburg. Beating a Porsche 911, and several others.   But that was then (9 years ago), this is now, or last yearish: Weird, wide focus lens, self-levelling camera - don't watch if prone to motion sickness! John

It is a fine looking vehicle Hamish. Post blasting normally put on a coat of primer to stop the steel gingering. But what primer depends on the final coating. And if they are going for refurbishment, even if the primer doesn't get damaged by tools, then presumably there will be oil involved, which would be an issue with primer which is slightly porous. WD40 is a bit light. I would suggest a light oil instead. I am assuming that whoever does the overhaul will do the painting so will need to do a full degrease anyway before the final painting. Love those safety three button T shirts and flared jeans on the marshals. And your dad's sports jacket and tie. Those were the days

Just before xmas I visited my mate that looks after my trailer at his business address and took the shocks with me for advice.  ended up leaving them For his lads to shot blast them - well not shot but a softer media that he has to use for military aluminium parts  I’m not expecting them to be painted as part of the favour.    and I expect to send them off to a specialist to refurbish them. Hopefully I’ll sell the ones I don’t use.    my questing is am I best wiping them with an oily cloth, liberal spray with WD40? or a light coat of aerosol paint ? To prevent rusting.  In the mean time       oh had some VSCC feedback on eligibility. defo need to change the electronic ignition the radial tyres need to be crossply no telescopic shocks ( no decision on the Armstrong shocks on the front. ) ( but if I can get this set working i will arrange the fitting so it’s all inter changeable with current set up. Ie keep all the current mounting points and add some ( use the same) for the permitted items) not eligibility but VSCC club suggest I can keep the roll bar for sprints and hill climbs ( one at a time events) but not for circuits. ( I don’t have a circuit licence anyway)They suggest the inherent vulnerability  of car and drivers without ROPS means that drivers take more care  and everyone is in the same “risk boat” (my words and interpretations) I do confess I prefer the car’s looks without the roll bar so may be a moot point anyway    

Since the infantile brat insits on having his way, the FREE WORLD should cut off America completly. An economic hardship but it beats WWlll where trump would have us with the death of NATO. 

Ford went main stream with heated windscreens. They then bought Jaguar and landrover.  when they sold them both to create JLR - JLR kept the ability to use the heated windscreens.  so a fiesta and top range Range Rover share the heated windscreens tech bloody good it is too

Spoiled brat….

No heated windscreen. Not sure it’s possible even as an option on these. Only Ford has them on most models.

@RedRooster Thanks for this. A solution has been found I gather. He is going to get a reconditioned Dolomite 1850 brake servo from the Dolomite Club (they offer this as an outright sale). 1850s and Sprints use different servos (the latter has a higher boost ratio but I cannot tell the difference, standard brakes are pish on both ) and the latter is difficult to acquire because the part that fails most commonly is obsolete. Oddly, given how similar they are, 1850 servos vary rarely suffer this failure. So why I am using a Land Rover servo? At the time I purchased it the reconditioning of brake servos hadn't commenced. As an aside, two possible other options were identified, namely TR7 and TR5/6. The former is difficult to find apparently and the latter isn't very good so a lot of TR owners have converted to a Volvo 960 servo (said conversion is quite involved, though)    thanks Ian

Does it have a heater windscreen? I am probably completely wrong but seem to recall reading (on here) that a Skoda windscreen needed to be replaced by a Skoda workshop rather than a glass specialist because of the heater element ?   Ian

The bully has spoken….. US sanctions from the first of next month against Denmark and the six other European nations including the UK who declared their support for the Greenlanders’ freedom to decide their future. All very predictable 🙄   Ian
