Can't wait to see the car with the rose petals on, still waiting for tyres.

Can anyone tell me the make of the switch extensions AND/OR has anyone got any for sale, I would be particually interested in the red one, which looks to be a different shape at the end from the black 2 ????

I've been trying to replicate a "eye line" tacho mount like the one shown in the photos..... My real concern is attaching a robust and vibration free mount to the top dash rail. Can we have some detailed photos of the set-up shown???

Cheers, Ian

The red one does look like a Speedwell job and the two black ones look like Lucas items which are a bugger to find, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Is this the same car, that Gordon Spice raced in 1968?

Peter

Hi Peter, yes it is the same car, the only main difference is that in 68 the car ran on 10" minilites.

Gordon Spice did race in Denmark in sept. 1968. The car came up to Denmark 1 or 2 weeks before the race at "Jyllands Ringen" and i remember a friend, telling me that he saw the car at a dealer in Randers, Jutland, where he was an appentice(?) then. In the lunch hour he was all over the car just to see how it was build.

I will ask him again, and i remember he had some pics.

Peter

Great pics. The stickers on the doors seem to change even though they are the same manufacturer?

Cheers Tom, that top pick is great, never seen that one before, the second pick is with Alan Edis who was the team co ordinator.

Any more pics would be great, in fact any info at all would be great

yes, Pete's post top picture is beautiful,
where was it made ?

Ooops sorry Pete, nice pic.

It's Brands Hatch '68 season opener.

Croft '68.....

Have had a few picture up load problems with my photobucket and the wife on my back to finish the new kitchen

also thought we should pull together and move on from the ugg bollocks thats consuming this fantastic site of Marks and get back to WHY we go onto the Mk 1 Performance.

Here are a couple more picks of the Arden.



this is one of the best parts of restoring a car like this, try to forget everything that has come along in the last 40 years and get back to basics OR bungies.

Sign writhing being mapped out and scaled onto wing.

And then the backing.



And then the gold leaf




A big thanks to Al aka 66s for putting me onto Wayne the sign writer, he has done a superb job

im liking the proper sign writing - always looks so much better than vinyl!

I love it. Doing a great job Paul.

Have you used the correct colour bungees Paul??? Totally loving this thread.

I would like to do something similar to mine... but this is a dream to me!!!!
