Yep, bags packed, weighed, repacked to meet limits, sat on, zipped up. Just got to get to sleep now, wondering what that vital item is I've forgotten to pack. It'll come to me at 2am, always does

There is also a thread here at ten/tenths regarding "Anglia Breadvans". Some pics and history of various (Anglia Fastback / Breadvan) cars.

https://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107169


Some info and a pic of what looks like the #105 car here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...a_Race_car.jpg
Referred to as a replica of a 60's car that ran a Corvette engine! (The replica doesnt)

I remember them in period when I was racing a straight forward Anglia twincam here in the north.
I'm fairly sure one was raced by Frank Radisicz - Paul's dad, I believe.

Thanks Alan, not how I remember it but clears up a few mysteries🤣

One surprise is just how quick some of the Fiat engined cars have become. Just saying......

Mmm, remember a year or two back some paddock discussion about possible development of that engine type! Fingers crossed your fuel tank issue can be managed......

Howden joined us for bbq this evening, left when the conversation got a bit too robust even for an antipodean🤣 Charming guy who listened patiently to our tales of derring do but who must have so many stories of his own to tell, much too modest to interrupt. Gave us some good pointers for places worth visiting, you'd think he would know these islands inside out but he's still discovering places he hasn't been before. A real gent of the old school.

You read Howden's book, Colin? Its brilliant, he signed my copy at the HSCC DD a few years ago. One of the best racing books I have!

Sorry Dan, missed your post. Not read Howden's book yet, currently on Tony Goodwin's story, Howden's next!


As the season is kicking off over here I reckon I ought to post some of the pics from my early start in NZ. To get you in the mood while I rummage through my phone here's a bit of in-car footage from Ruapuna viewed from Michael Sexton's Stanguellini which was 1 of 3 front-engine cars involved in a midfield tussle for the first half of the race. I started at the front of this scrap, and finished at the back handicapped by having to hang on to the gearstick to stop it jumping out of gear through the corners. Driver's Excuse book page 24 number 6 Robin Lackford in his Elva was the other participant.
