Good to report that the FIA's lobbying has now worked in Brussels:

Whether to roll it over to next year was discussed at the last Council meeting and a final decision will be taken this month.

VG - I took ME177 out for the first time this year on Saturday for a short blast and it ran very well on its rebuilt carb.

For anyone looking to fill a little of the gap left by the LMC cancellation, I've booked a ticket for this:

A visit to the AAC Museum has been on the 'to do' list for a while and the organisers say that they hope the Museum will be open on the day, pandemic permitting.

Let's hope the EU eventually gets to the same place.
I've just heard Monty Don on Radio 4's 'Broadcasting House' saying he thinks that people driving lawnmowers need to be insured.

The body tubs on the wide track cars were the same as the standard ones; the additional width of the axles was covered by wider wings. The only cars with a reproportioned body to suit the wide axles were the saloons and DHCs built on the 9' 11" chassis (rather than 9' 7" for the 4 seaters and 8' 10" for the 2 seaters). There were two distinct varieties of 2 seaters, the early slab tank cars and the later round tail ones. The round tail ones have a taller radiator. I don't know whether the early two seaters shared the front end of the four seaters.
Whether Telecontrol dampers were standardised around 1937 I don't know, but they may have been removed from many cars during restoration as parts only became available again about 20 years ago. They aren't shown as an option on the price lists I have seen, but AC were famous for letting customers specify what they wanted within the limits of the standard chassis/body combinations.
