Re: Opinion Poll- Rebuild or Conserve?
In my opinion the whole idea of this project is to renovate the boat to 1967 spec and the hpc control is a vital part in the boat , also whos to say that the lever werent thrown to and fro during the boats contortions during the crash anyway and after all it didnt play a direct part in the crash its...

Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
I think we are all greed that DMC and k7 are top of the list but let us not forget those people like PARRY THOMAS (BABS) who was a first class engineer even by todays standards and who had advised Malcolm Campbell on occasion with his cars and of coarse who perished on Pendine sands in 1927 , Babs b...

Re: Canopy
Thats interesting i suppose it would have been easier to leave the steel strip there rather than try to dismantle the intake assembly, it must have been very well embedded then as not to have been removed when they had to rebuild the intakes in 66. So if the hinge strip is on the boat still and the ...

Re: Canopy
The old canopy is at filching manor but it is only the front screen which was a fixed piece, as part of the hinged piece broke up during a test run nearly deafening DMC , fortunately he managed to shut the beryl down before the canopy was ingested through the engine hence why the norris brothers had...
