Ian burford’s Lenham Midget is in the workshop being prepared for the 2015 HSCC Historic Road Sports season. We found nothing wrong other than a leaking rear hub seal. A new set of tyres and an MOT are all that is needed now.
Mark Weaver’s recently purchased MGB roadster came in for a setup on the rolling road and a general inspection with track driving in mind. This early example looks very tidy in British racing green with white hard top. Look out for this one on track soon.
The HRDC circus will arrive at Silverstone this weekend for the first race of the 2013 season. Touring Greats will be joining the Aston Martin Owners Club this weekend at Silverstone. We are busy preparing the Ford Zodiac for James Turner and “Bumble” the MG ZA Magnette for Julius Thurgood and former F1 driver Rupert Keegan. The Zodiac is wearing a new set of tyres and has seen some Winter development in the form of a fresh engine and stiffer front end. See you there.
A loud and raucous V8 in the back of this little Crossle gets fettled on the rolling road. A Goodwood racer prepped for the upcoming season.
Workshop Manager and Engineer Graham Smeeton started his motorsport career grass tracking. The 1988 HRE Grass Track Champion built his first race car back in the 1980’s. Like so many in our sport his first race car was a Mini, albeit a 1400cc Mini with a 14.5:1 compression ratio, revving to 9000rpm and producing 112bhp at the wheels!
