Are you sure its not a copy of the original car? As to check the body, we're talking about GW not Nascar. How do you imagine you could check all the suspension mounting points location? And the subframes?

Engine power, ride height, bonnet shape apart, ask any E Type driver bout the brakes…

Just to say because I enjoyed the show and really dont care about the compliancy of cars. 'f course any E Type cant match a Cobra, this is obvious and has always been the case. Its just a show. And I like it.

Up to period D, cars must have 100mm clearance, 60mm for period E onwards. Any suspension component must be as per the original and located in the original position. I'm not suggesting it is non compliant, but from comments here it does appear to be different from the original.

Nope it does not have papers, it's 100mm in Period E and F unless you run a Single Seater or Two-Seater Racing Car.

Yes, I stand corrected thank you. I was reading the regs from my phone so missed the distinction between type of car.

At Silverstone Classic, for instance, there are a number of 'new' cars running in the same category such as the Daytona Cobra which don't run at Goodwood. So which events are more strict? The Members Meeting seems to me to be more relaxed in this respect than the Revival. Genuine questions....

All events are relaxed, it's not about compliance, it's about getting cars and entries for promoters. How many cars are changed once papers are issued? That's the problem and the fact that no one has actually ever opened the rulebook. How many times do I get asked the "is this legal?" when it is since forever and the other way around too.
