DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Check the price from Porsche before you buy, several parts recently have been surprisingly competitive............

/\/\/\ What they say!
I would drop the system off, and see which bit rattles. Either gravel, or just as likely a 30 year old silencer falling apart inside.
Alternatively, and cheaper, buy - https://www.screwfix.com/p/3m-1100-37db ... airs/50346

Apologies to Patrick Kavanagh

If it helps to try, I ought to have a fully functioning MFI lift pump that you could borrow available in a couple of weeks' time.
It is from our 2.4S and has been happily supplying the 3.2 short stroke MFI engine in our hillclimb car.
At least it would confirm or rule out the pump.

And that pesky Mr Eyles and his Alfa Romeo in the middle of them!

Hi, I have 2 sets of rims that will make 9.5" wide wheels, 5" outers and 4.5" inners, and one original Compomotive Dage centre. https://i.postimg.cc/mg1ZSyxB/IMG_6757.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/W4M2Bpby/IMG_6758.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Gp1Rx0Jx/IMG-6760.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/7ZzDzP7...

Hi, welcome to DDK!
If you're around on 11/12th May, we hope to be competing at Harewood in our (rather!!!) modified 1972 2.4S.
Sorry to hear of your disasters locally, I hope you get the car sorted soon

Cheers

Probably just to keep the rain out of the engine bay. We have the same problem at wet hillclimb weekends.

The two front cars are Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. KKV 394 was Russel Brookes 1981 RAC car, so the picture is probably around that period. From the flag, the Ulster Rally or Circuit of Ireland about the same time, British Open Rally Championship rounds, think MINTEX were sponsoring it back then? I think ...

Sorry guys, 10/11 August is one of the biggest events in the British Hillclimb Championship at Shelsley Walsh.
We'll be there, if anyone is looking for something different to do on Sunday 11th.

They are wonderful guys, but they don't do engines ..........

So much for Google

Wonderful story Jeremy! It's amazing the interesting people that you meet through our hobby, It's as much about the people as it is the cars.
You must take it up to Bo'ness some time for their Revival weekend, they would be delighted.
I look forward to seeing the BMW sometime soon!!
Cheers

It looks like Hedingham will be 14/15th September weekend this year, the same weekend as the BHC round at Doune.

No contest - we'll be in Scotland!

JW

No - I can't even think of his name, but I do admire him for driving from London to Shelsley Walsh regularly in the McLaren in all weathers!
