So 356 with Chris Harris two seconds a lap quicker than 1931 Talbot.
Talbot five seconds a lap quicker than other 356.
Even steven!

I must thank Roger Bray and Andy Prill and their respective colleagues for their efforts in getting my pre-A ready for Goodwood. I realise it wasn't easy and I am very grateful that the car looked and went as well as it did first time out. Many thanks! Robert

I'm not Take That biggest fan but Howard clearly has great taste in cars
Anybody on here look after his cars?
John perhaps Lord March's daughters are Take That fans! What you clearly need is a hit single to get your 356 in!

Which, of course, was built by Andy Prill a few years ago.

Keith, He asked who looks after it!
The engine was not April!
Andy built engine in Roberts old car with the West Country gentlemen doing the body.
Andy also built one of my race engines but not the one in the green and white Pre A!
Enough information!

John, I sense 'history'...
All I was doing was adding a little more to the background of the car that finished in P2. Never suggested that the engine was built by Andy – only the original car. And then several years ago. Race car history is always interesting.

Maxted Page and Prill built Howards car with a team led by Adam who looked after car at weekend on behalf of Maxted Page.
Speaking to Andy yesterday about stuff including Goodwood .Would think the cars are now for sale although no one will confirm!
Goodwood best place to advertise them.
Both cars were extremely well presented.
To make history correct interesting that first three cars in race all built in Essex.

Andy has had April and many other nick names for years.
See someone loves him!
Winston don't worry same as all the chat on the Nash and VSCC places.Mosty for the inner clicks.
I don't understand all stuff on 911 bits but Porsche stopped making decent cars after 66.

Winston :Talbot do not have forum as owners to old to know what a forum is or own one of those tablet gadgets.
The 356 is always interesting on here as what's written is seldom a portrayal of what actually happened!
Am waiting for you to start racing your tub!
