Any pics?

Hi Scottie - might have to give Stoneleigh a miss this year, I'm in the process of fitting a pair of Stromberg CD175's to my Spyder and I've had to cut a damn great hole in the bonnet for clearance.
Although it's running better than ever and I've taken it out for a test run, I don't want to drive it too far until I've put a new bulge or scoop over the offending carb to reinforce the bonnet and stop it cracking out from the corners of the hole.
As for the weather, it looks like it's going to pi$$ down all weekend, so I feel for anyone who is taking a properly open car...
The Maserati in the picture above wasn't ever meant to be driven with the Bedouin tent in place btw, it was added together with a bunch of other namby-pamby luxuries like a full-height screen, single wiper and even
doors to comply with some hair-brained and thankfully short-lived racing regulations back in the fifties.
Anyway, good luck with the weather this weekend...
