All three are still going strong. Spider has just had a major mechanical rebuild and is now shaking down nicely, with some good runs at Shelsley over the weekend. GNAT, on the right, is running very well despite being almost 100% original. WASP, mine for 15+years is having an oil pump rebuild and could do with a clutch overhaul. Last outing was Castle Combe Historic last year, 9th out of 30 or so Frazer Nashes & GNs, despite being only 1100cc and 2 wheel braked! All three are still very competitive in VSCC competition, Spider is still capable of FTD, esp if its raining, Gnat gets class awards on the tighter technical courses, and I have class records at Shelsley, Prescott & Curborough, so far, Wiscombe and Loton still evade me!911hillclimber wrote:And still going very strong.
I think it is currently having an oily rag rebuild, what a machine, in fact, all those Shelsley Specials are magic.
Hard work but tremendous fun and really exciting to still compete hard in something so historic..... An honour. Sent from my G8441 using Tapatalk

The one on the left, in my workshop this morning, it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I walk in.Hugo 356 wrote:The hillclimber to beat in 1926. Basil Davenport in his GN Spider special, beat Caracciola's SSK up Shelsey by almost 2 seconds in 1930, ex-works AFN engine:
"This 1500cc powerhouse boasted four-valve cylinder heads and twin-spark ignition, and throughout 1925 brought Davenport a mixture of impressive results and engine seizures."

Brilliant! Not only are they going strong, but in hands that know they belong on the hill rather than in a museum

Magic machines, magic to watch in anger as well as the Paddock.
I would die if I was the custodian on just one.
