Re: Tripo headlights
I wonder how many 289s etc actually had tripod lights fitted as standard? Looking back to cars from the early 1960s I can't recall many which did and nearly all the originals in the ACOC have standard 7" round lights fitted. Whether they are original lamps or not I don't know, but I will stick with ...

Re: Le Mans 66 film
I haven't been to the cinema for over 20 years, perhaps this will change that.

Re: Statutory plate
I found this guide quite helpful when I was going through my own private hell with IVA: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/individual-vehicle-approval-iva-for-cars-help-to-get-a-pass/individual-vehicle-approval-iva-for-cars-help-to-get-a-pass - and yes, IVA is harder than SVA, which I happi...

Re: Statutory plate

In my case Jag IRs, Ford 302, the axle weights are 650 kg front, 750 kg rear and 1400 kg total. The actual...
