My car was not registered until 1974, but the shell was delivered in 1972.
When Paul Narramore was Olympic Registrar some years ago we looked ...

Hi Steven
My car (reg HLB21N) was supplied on 17 August 1972 from the factory, and the gel coat is coloured red. There are a lot of places where the layer of glass mat under it has air trapped, makin ...

Thanks for posting, as you say it's a pity about the quality but that's how it is.
The original film should be much better quality, but I guess you only have access to a VHS copy.

I am sure that at the first AGM I went to, we were given a sticky label to write our name and car reg no on for identification. Perhaps that should happen next year.

Sadly, I have not made any progress with either the website or the Olympic.
My son has now sold the Westfield and bought a classic Mini, which is in the garage, and the Olympic is in the same place u ...

I can understand the need to be logged in to post, but not just to read the forum. In fact I thought at the last AGM I attended, the point was made that the forum was a way of bringing the club to the ...

Whenever I have had a problem with accessing the forum, Aubrey has been very quick to sort things out, but he probably doesn't look at the forum otherwise.

The software the forum runs on (phpBB) se ...

Hi Rob

1 I believe the MGB 4 Synchro box is too wide for the Ph 1 tunnel. The 3 Synchro is very similar to the Riley 1.5.

2 The early MGB 3 bearing engine will fit the Riley gearbox, but are n ...

I had a problem about a year ago drilling a hole in a concrete lintel at my daughter's flat. My old hammer drill made no impression, so I bought a Direct Power BS26S3 5kg SDS Plus Drill from Screwfix ...

I'm not sure about older kitcars of the Ford Special era. I know my GT was registered as a Ford Rochdale (or Rochdale Ford I can't remember which) and that this was unusual. Most people didn't bother, ...

I have always assumed it was MGA, but probably difficult to get hold of these days. The MGB system is very similar, and could probably be used instead. Much easier to find parts for, but not fly-off ( ...
