    Great stuff, thanks Nigel.....a genuine walk through the pits there and some nasty damage for some poor bugger.

    Brilliant stuff Nigel. Duncan Rabagliati might be keen to have copies of all the FJ pics. Email me or send me a PM and your email address and I'll pass on his contact details.

    We don't know how lucky we are in NZ to be able to access the paddock/pits area without a specific pass - and a jobsworth guarding the entrance.

    Looks as though Walter's Elva must have had a hiccup recently, judging by the additions to the nose cone.

    I'm guessing that the stripped car is David Kent's Lynx.

    Regarding the 208 Lola, I think that maybe since the advent of transponders, many have opted out of the standard numbering, however, whilst the timekeepers may not have an issue, the same cannot be said for flag marshals and photographers!

    Yes it is indeed the David Kent Lynx. I was chatting to one of the other drivers and he told me that they had a spare engine for it so at least his tour wasn't over.

    It must be the new math but when I was in school and in England in 1973 the number Two zero eight looked like this.

    Not like this Two Zero Eight !

    Shellsport Luxembourg had a strong team in 1973 and their cars were often competing for the leads against our Trojans and Chevrons etc.
    At one of the last races at Snetterton in Oct 1973 the Shellsport Luxembourg # 3 of Clive Santo in Lola T 330 ( HU 21 ) can be seen on the right as Teddy Pilette in the VDS Chevron and race winner Bob Evans in the McKecknie Trojan T 101 prepare to go out to the starting grid.
