Racing A40's?

[morninggents]

Not mentioned so far in this thread is John Blanckley's A40 that ran an MGB engine at the northern circuits in the late 60s. Fast car but handling always appeared a bit loose. I think it ran as a Rockwell or Rockcliffe A40 in the programme.

Thanks. I've been able to flag a correction - the Morris Minor driver's name has now been corrected to Harry Ratcliffe!

Mike and Andrew Jordan were going like stink and on for a win yesterday in their A40 until a rear cylinder bust, must have a stonkin 1300+ engine in it!

Anyone got a contact at all for John Blanckley as mentioned here? Writing a book and want to talk to him about his Unipower GT! Thanks in advance!

At the risk of winning the prize for "most delayed thread revival", If anyone fancies joining the hallowed ranks of A40 racers, I have this fine example for sale at the moment, currently in the desirable 'Cafe Racer' stylee
