Reply to "Deauville meeting"

Roland, many thanks indeed for the picture of your own car it looks exactly how I want mine to be once Roger Brotton has finished with it. I’m off up to South Yorkshire next weekend to see how he’s getting on so I’ll try and post a few pictures up here.

Stephen, I had a good look at Rogers’s car when last I was at 3.4 late last year and she’s a grand bit of kit although there may yet be one or two others hidden under dust sheets somewhere in Britain! After having had a good chat with him this week it appears as though he is all systems go for June although I would imagine it is wise not to tempt fate! Roger is doing a bit on my own car for the next edition of the clubs magazine as once again after having taken it to bits he’s discovered a few anomalies fitted by the factory such as a limited slip dif, no doubt there will be more as the saga unfolds.

Dutchie, many thanks for the pointers on colors, there are indeed some suitably 70’s ones there! It’s almost enough to get you to go and find another car to have in a different color. The only one I really don’t like is my own cars original scheme of white, nasty!

Si Targa, thanks for the pointer but I’m afraid I’m being pretty hopeless, I can’t find out how to search the archive so I can have a look. All very annoying

I am going to contact another bloke here in the UK who’s restoring another Deauville at the moment and point him this way, a 2007 run to Deauville in Deauvilles has to be done
