Re: Used as intended - at last!!!
Thanks for sharing your story, and your car looks superb.
Goodwood’s my local track and I’ve had some brilliant days there, mostly thanks to Robert. I hope your post inspires me to get mine back on the road this summer too.

I thought most of the Tuthill Safari rally cars run 3.0 on PMO carbs. If so they must have the setup pretty sorted

Re: No none electric car sales from 2030??
Apologies if it’s been posted before, but this Top Gear video shows Chris Harris interviewing a (car enthusiast) National Grid engineer about an electric car future. They discuss many of the issues above, including the impact of classics at about 16 min if you want to skip ahead https://youtu.be/eaE...

Re: Giroflex Championship 1986
Yes, that's the ex-Kiemele 934 owned by various, including Gavin Watson who drove/shared a 930 in the Giroflex series. Is that John Bell (who owned the car after Gavin Watson) sitting on the front?

Re: Giroflex Championship 1986
Last one, Fast Lane magazine from March 86, with a feature on ‘Five of the Best’ from Autofarm. Josh’s 3.5 hill climber is in front, while the silver SC with 3.4 conversation at the back later morphed into the 3.2 Carrera in the shots above. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50590362137_42657edd14...
