My personal favourites, in no particular order, have got to be ....

1) Paul Matty's Lotus 35
2) Kelvin Lee's Lotus 7

Not exactly but I feel certain it must be something to do with the era in which you watched hillclimbs!

A poor car salesman? I didin't think such a thing existed !

As far as the other half is concerned ..........i'm poor !

Back on the topic, as for Goulds.......Deano's looked the best, followed By Chris's, and just on preparation alone Simon Durlings.

terrydlm · 12 Mar 2007, 19:52 (Ref:1864984)

Tom New's Pilbeam looks very pretty imo.

wight jr · 12 Mar 2007, 20:53 (Ref:1865055)

The SPA Judd, always liked it.
PCD Saxon, the reason i went for Martin for my projects.

b1ackcr0w · 12 Mar 2007, 23:40 (Ref:1865205)

I second the PCD Saxon, a little jem that thing.

I've always been partial to the Force SR8.

I don't know who owns it, but theres a gobsmackingly gorgeous original Jag E Type coupe in Sliver going around the hills. Probably the only E-type that looks as good on close inspection as it does from a distance.

**Woolley** · 12 Mar 2007, 23:57 (Ref:1865215)

Is that the one with the ever-so-slightly bulged wheel arches? It's stunning, isn't it?

Best car is without the rebuilt Peter Cox Chevron. I've got a soft spot for that blue and yellow Ralt F3 that runs at Gurston too.

zac510 · 13 Mar 2007, 09:15 (Ref:1865409)

This thread needs photos

rescue dude · 13 Mar 2007, 09:23 (Ref:1865414)

Photos would certainly make it better.

I think i'll hunt down a few.

I followed the links and saw where they took me but am still

with regards to the relevance......

Unless it was to inform how to actually post a picture...

Steve Wilkinson · 13 Mar 2007, 15:28 (Ref:1865639)

I think old Crow bait was trying to be helpful by pointing out the standard threads that (a) tell you how to post a picture, and (b) remind one about copyright issues!

Above: one of my photos of a youthful Ray Rowan driving David Render's Pilbeam MP43 at Barbon.

Yup, sorry Steve. I was tired when I did that. The second link I was trying to be helpful with tech instructions about how to post.

The first was a little reminder that photographers have a living to make, some are ok with copying them onto boards like this, some aren't.

zac510 · 14 Mar 2007, 09:42 (Ref:1866299)

I can't recall who owns this and don't have the programme handy.
