OK all good. Sorry to ask so many questions, but it might stir others into action.

The next thing is tyres ????????? Period correct, these cars were on slicks. Certainly all the 70's cars were. What does the 'brains trust' think on that subject. We all have to buy tyres of some sort, so cost differences dont really come into it. I presume the cars will not need to be WOF standard. Cars like the Amco Mini ran on them exclusively for 2 seasons. Collingwood was on such a tight budget that he only had one set for the whole season. He was lucky that the 970 was fairly easy on rubber. Tyre selection for 10 inch Mini rims is very limited, unlike the larger wheel sizes, where there is a much bigger demand.
