Hi John,

Many thanks.

I enjoyed being there

Fascinating information on the 428 and DB4's, thank you so much

I wonder if H.W Motors still have the chassis number of the green car that they sold to Dad.

Then we will see if the current white 3BYR is the same car.

I will contact them and find out.

Take care

Paula

However, in respect of the competition cars, I note Andy Shepherd's monstrous racing 428 Coupe (#16). It's more of a silhouette car really, since, under the skin it is quite removed from the road car version. Built at great expense for the Super GT series, it didn't see many outings because Andy was still developing it to iron out the bugs. Unfortunately, there were never enough cars for the series which is currently defunct.

The DB4, reg no. GFO 655, that you have photographed, is chassis 497, a car that sprinted at Goodwood occasionally in the late 90's.

You mention DB4, reg no 3 BYR. This is chassis 598, a well known and much campaigned car, in both sprints and races, including at least two outings in the Spa 6 hours in this millennium.
