Mike and Colin,
Mike , it is good you have purchased BT40-17 , I own down in Australia BT40-18
which is the late Chuck Dietrich's car , progressing slowly but steadily .
Most of the car is very original , we had to make a new rear engine bay as mine
had been left standing somewhere in a damp place , all done exactly as original in nickel bronze welding and we made a jig from the old frame , cut out the AM number and transferred that and a few little brackets to the new frame .
For a car that never ran in period in Australia we seem to have collected six now down here ,
BT40-11
BT40-12
BT40-18
BT40-30
BT40-35
BT40-36
and the owner of BT40-35 Neville Mackay has a 2nd in pieces in S.E.ASIA .
Regards , Bryan Miller.
