" Bloody Well Done "
Only attended the club stand on Saturday, A really great day, left the Ace in good company amongst ACs ranging from the 1930s to early 2000s and disappeared around the circuit, into the various pits to view the Group C cars, the touring cars and racing GTs, great to see the Cobras well represented. ( Well done Ollie... 2nd O/A, another few laps and it would have been 1st)
Bumped into dozens of AC and Racing friends around the circuit and
in various grand stands, returned to the AC stand / Area to meet up with Jack Sears who kindly signed one of my Cobra books.
You then produce your trump card and amongst the ACs is the 1965 Willment Coupe (CSX3055?) desinged for John Willment based on the Ghia body fitted in 1955 to Alfa Romeo and Fiat. A car I have always wanted to see but never thought possible.
Glad to hear it is now fully sorted, handles and runs just as good as it looks, ( "beauty is in the eye of the beholder ") Maybe some one, with free access to the car and the knowledge can produce an article for ACtion.
All in all a great day where I OD'd on ACs, Classic Cars and Racing, ALAN, Thanks for pulling everything together, A hard act to follow for 2010, but you have the skills and 12 months (about 50 weeks) to prepare.
