Getting Old!

Getting Old!

2010-06-02 by bennywhiz

Hello All,
Due to rapid ageing and racing commitments, I find I have to sell some of my collection. I feel I should offer these cars to you Maniacs first before ebay. I have a 1968 wooden chassis #5131, totally rebuilt, the first 1600gt into Western Canada, lots of photos. I also have a 1992 Ginetta G27 with a 2.0 Duratec and Quaife 5-speed, e-type rear diff.
Possibly a 1964 1800gt #4003 body and chassis ready for restoration.
Breaks my heart, but these poor things just sit in my shop waiting.

John.

It's the %@#$&! economy that is breaking my heart, cannot buy anything, no matter how desirable!
My own wood chassis 1600 GT is also waiting for attention, at a time when the dollar is finally worth more than a penny in Europe.

Hello All,
Due to rapid ageing and racing commitments, I find I have to sell some of my

ebay. I have a 1968 wooden chassis #5131, totally rebuilt, the first 1600gt
into Western Canada, lots of photos. I also have a 1992 Ginetta G27 with a
2.0 Duratec and Quaife 5-speed, e-type rear diff.
Possibly a 1964 1800gt #4003 body and chassis ready for restoration.
