Today we are at Goodwood Motor Circuit in the heart of Sussex with racing driver Darren Turner. Darren is getting some laps in around the circuit ahead of the much anticipated 72nd Members Meeting. Darren, who owns the car personally, has been invited to take part in the Tony Gaze trophy. Over the past couple months we’ve prepped the car and are very much looking forward to taking part.
Mk1 Lotus Cortina and Healey 3000 repairs
Local enthusiast David Long has left two of his classics with us for some work. The first is Jan Hardy’s Austin-Healey 3000. A loss a brake fluid was found to be the result of a tired braked servo cylinder. This has been re-sleaved and will be rebuilt and fitted to the car. This gorgeous Mk1 Lotus Cortina has developed an ignition issue and currently wont start.

Beuatiful Lotus Elite on the rolling road
Steve Gooch brought his stunning Lotus Elite in this morning. A few small running issues were sorted out on the rolling road. The Elite’s 1220cc Coventry Climax engine is running on twin Weber DCOE carburetors.
The Elite is running much better in traffic and has noticeably more power at the top end, thanks – Steve
