DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Difficult question. If it’s a fully rebuilt engine by a respected specialist with all the correct MFI tin ware and exhaust then £20k. If a bag of parts then not sure, but you could end up spending £20k rebuilding it. If buying something rebuilt then I would want to know exactly who had rebuilt it an...

For the price of one new injector you can buy something like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diesel-Injection-Nozzles-Tester-Device-0-8000PSI-Powerful-Pressure-Injector-Test-/173185391036 I've used something similar to service/clean/test injectors. Our injectors should crack off at 212psi. Spray pa...

Mike Bainbridge worked for Tuthills for a number of years.

How nice is that. Great to have a little bit of sunshine during this gloomy time

It’s a local registration number, so would imagine it was a local car. Would be lovely to find out who owned it.

Never run properly that Andy. No fan belt.

It looks very trick tho. Is it a period engine?

The predecessor to the GT3 engines.

You can just see the top of the Hoad Monument in the second photo (Top of the hill) that you can also see in the older photos. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210118/58ebfa5101c814c539ce0025cf86a557.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210118/6e5cebd88b539bdf7827f5a20f09189d.jpg Sent from my iP...

Think the garage was very new. Mr Hodgson had moved his garage from the town centre to the main road in about 1964.

And your right it looks nothing like that now.

Thats 2 late comers done for Derek.

Hope he's happy with them.





Kind Regards

Hi Mike

I will take it thanks.

Kind Regards

I was reading an article on brake upgrades for my 996 GT3. I’ve never felt the brakes weren’t up to the job, but the article was saying it’s not that they perform poorly but they wear out quickly and are expensive to replace. They suggested that discs would only last 3 or 4 Trackdays. I’ve done 3 Tr...

If I were selling that car I think I would be very pleased with what it fetched. As has been said, shiny paint can cover a multitude of sins and the word restoration can get flung around, sometimes that means its been painted and the odd patch welded up the next it can mean a Barry Carter nut and bo...

Just wanted to upload these without the Photobucket water mark. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210112/b949506911d2ff9aa693e494105b5d4d.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210112/9ce99def569ecc507db9137c0fc53409.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210112/70508802498c4d9dd6aadc9a58ba8264.jpg...

Merry Xmas to all the fine folk of DDK. Be merry and I hope you are all with your loved ones.
