Another nice pic of HDK443E, this time without the reg on the bonnet and cooling ducts added. Must be a later photo.

First pic : middle of the season (Soissons Hillclimb), second one : last race of the season (Le Castellet). Both pics 1970 and extract from my books

Piloto I’m interested to know the name of your book as I only found these pics on the net.

Thats Geoff's Hillclimber, before it was Sprintified. Looks like he is going into orchard at harewwod.

And now it’s back! For good! Great to see Simon Goodliff get his dad’s car back after 48 years in Strasbourg. We’d been talking about it on and off pretty much since I’d persuaded owner Jean Burgy to bring it to Shelsley in 2013, Jeff himself was keen to see it but didn’t make it to the event in the end sadly. Now the pieces have fallen into place finally and it’s back in Blighty. Amazing car, very happy owner!

Sometimes cars should be with specific owners, this is one of those times

Great news that it has made it back home.

Great to see Jeff's car has come back home. Wonderful news. Will Simon be bringing it to any events, would love to have a good look at it.

What a great result.

Are the rumours it will be at Harewood this year true?

Are the rumours it will be at Harewood this year true?

Oh! I do hope so!

[Pete]

Not this year folks unfortunately. Though Jean has preserved the car beautifully over the last 48 years the plan is to use it in anger and so a programme of going right through the car will commence quite soon. Next year though will be a must!

Cheers Pete, thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing it next year.

And it’ll be competing!
