"Almost all of original engine (1148) is still in the car. The crankcase/sump is from engine BL1619, ex chassis BL1613, but remainder of original engine is still giving good service! When inspected by Michael Hay, it was not realised that most of the original engine was extant. This is sent by way of update."

  "I see you kindly placed new images of my car (YK 6653, Chassis No. 1124) on your site, pictures you took at BDC Silverstone this year. I am in one or both shots, so you were just a few feet away at the Benjafield’s Racing Club Marquee, when you took the pictures." — Philip Strickland (Owner), Sep 26, 2016
