Hi John
Yep, was indeed Fearless himself (as I discovered when I downloaded the photos). I doubt he gave it a second thought as he has his minnions to take care of such trivialities. I saw the guys checking the suspension (bent track rod etc) and having spent the winter fettling the car, the expression on their faces said it all!!! It was hardly his 'pride and joy', just another ticket to compete at the Revival, maybe. No doubt a good dinner in Monaco was more on his mind.....
I was back at the circuit on Friday to see the ex-Willment Cobra of Shaun Llyn beng exercised and it is certainly going well! One heck of an engine in that car, now that the 289s can be coaxed to give around 400bhp. Good to see a car like that in the hands of a genuine, caring & knowledgable owner. At least I was able to get more photos of his Cobra and GT40 although I was sat in the passenger seat of his GT40 to go out for some on-track photography when smoke began to fill the cockpit - even I know that it's time to evacuate :-) The alternator had jammed solid...
