Just när detta skrivs förbereder jag Sid 8-9 Nya medlemmar och Healeys till salu mig och bilen för healeyracet på Castle Combe första helgen i oktober. På tal om BJ8: jag upplever ibland att dessa, liksom ibland även BJ7, ses lite grand över axeln Sid 11 Brittiska Klubbkampen, Skåne av vissa Healeyägare, som lite alltför ”bekvämiserade” glidarbilar anpassade främst för USA- - Peter Bäckström marknaden.

Eller varför inte redan på första racehelgen, mitten av maj? Sid 31 Regaliashopen Anders Lotsengård Denis Welch 1944 – 2014 Vår engelske vän, Denis Welch, avled av skadorna han ådrog sig i samband med en racingolycka på Silverstone den 27 juli i år. Denis tävlade med en Lotus 18 sedan han för några år sedan övergav Healeyracingen där han varit dominerande sedan början av åttiotalet. Denis hade en lång tradition av motorsport i familjen som började med att Denis farfar byggde båtar och slog det ena hastighetsrekordet efter det andra. Denis äldre bröder åkte både motorcykel och Formel 3 – en 500cc halvpanna – i början av 50-talet och Denis var inte sen att hänga med. Han träffade sin fru Tina 1963 i samband med att hon körde en rallytävling i en Hundkoja och därefter var Denis fast både som kartläsare och blivande man. Nu insåg han att det var i motorsporten han hörde hemma och skaffade en egen koja för sprint och hill climb. Kojan ersattes snart av en Ford Anglia som Denis stoppade en betydligt vassare Lotus Twin cam motor i. I början av 70-talet skiftade han till formelbilsracing i en Merlyn men insåg ganska snart att han saknade sina tidigare saloon cars. 1977 köpte Denis och Tina en servicestation i Yoxall där han servade allehanda bilar åt ortsbefolkningen under många år. Denis hade dock en länge närd önskan att åka Big Healey och byggde 1982 en race-Healey av en gat-Healey han tidigare köpt. Därmed var Healeylegenden ”The Bulldog” med registreringsnummer 6200 NO född. Varför hette den då ”The Bulldog? Jo, helt enkelt därför att alla Denis racingbilar hade namn efter farfars racingbåtar. Vi är många som genom åren beundrat Denis i hans skicklighet att hantera Healeyn på banor både i Europa och världen över. Mest spektakulära är givetvis minnena från filmen om Denis race på Bathurst i Australien där han vann båda racen elegant, samt naturligtvis hans många racesegrar på Nürburgring. 2007 överlät Denis och Tina ”Denis Welch Motorsport Limited” till äldste sonen Jeremy och flyttade till en liten gård i Staffordshire där han etable- rade ”Oak Tree Motorsport Limited” i tidigare stall och logar. Denis var en speciell man som inte framhävde sig själv utöver framfarten på racerbanorna. När vi andra gick till puben för att fira ett lyckat race, som ofta Denis vunnit, åkte han och familjen istället hem för att fira på sitt eget sätt.

    Built to be driven. A quality re-creation of the original Ford GT40 that beat Ferrari, famously sweeping the top three positions in the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966 and again in 1967 with the GT40 MKIV. In 1968 and 1969, GT40 MKI number 1075 became the only race car to win Le Mans for two consecutive years. In developing our exhilarating GT40 continuation, our engineers went to great lengths to ensure authenticity. It is NOT a kit car or replica, it is a genuine continuation GT40. The Superformance GT40 MKI, MKII and GT40 R competition are numbered with the original GT40-P chassis numbers and are listed in the Shelby Car World Registry and official GT40 registry. The GT40 continuation is built to exacting standards - in fact over two thirds of the parts in the rolling chassis are interchangeable with that of the original, including the ‘monocoque’ style chassis. The Superformance GT40 also boasts a pressed steel roof and beautifully finished body. Current models offered are the MKI and MKII which are available in right and left hand drive, as well as the GT40/R Competition. Add your choice of power (big or small block ) with a ZF/RBT transaxle, and prepare yourself for extreme satisfaction and the ultimate in styling. *Specifications subject to change without notice. Standard features. • A complete factory assembled rolling chassis. • Show quality paint finishes with many standard colors. • Fully independent front and rear suspension. • Bilstein® coil over progressive shocks with performance Springs®. • Four-wheel vented disc brakes, Wilwood 4-piston calipers.

  • Jaguar Inside Stories from Two New Books TWR and Jaguar's XJS by Allan Scott
    News/offers from Paul Skilleter and PJ Publishing March 2013 You have been sent this e-mail because you are a customer/subscriber/enquirer or you asked for our newsletter. If you do not wish to receive our news, simply reply to this newsletter with the word 'Unsubscribe' as the subject line (not in the body of the message please) http://www.paulskilleterbooks.co.uk/ Jaguar inside stories from two new books I am always intrigued by motoring 'inside stories', that is, books written by people in the industry who were actually deeply involved with the cars or projects they are writing about. In Jaguar terms, there have not been very many. In fact, if you disregard racing drivers like Duncan Hamilton and Stirling Moss (none of whom actually worked for Jaguar full time), up until last year the only book which was devoted solely to Jaguar topics, and was written by someone who worked there, was our own title on XJ13 (still available from us, of course). This was penned by Peter Wilson who was a competitions department staff member from 1961 to 1966. But correct me if I have forgotten someone else! Quite recently, however, two excellent books have appeared which both give first-hand accounts of how two very important and exciting Jaguars were developed. One tells of how Tom Walkinshaw created the all-conquering, ETC- winning XJ-S, and the other continues a TWR theme by describing how the magnificent 200mph+ XJ220 evolved from essentially a static show car to a highly effective supercar. We are very pleased to offer these books, which I describe below in more detail.
