Hi Leigh - I was thinking exactly the same thing myself...!

I think we will forget it for this January if not this year...

Christmas Cheers,

Mark

Just to let you all know, especially Mary, that the wire wheels are now sold...!

Christmas Cheers,

Mark

That's the one! I drove it when Jim first repatriated it back to the UK from the States. I was racing my Plus 4 at Silverstone and Jim wanted me to try it to see what I thought... It drove very well and was a nice original car in as much as I was told it had been rebuilt by the factory some years pr...

By the way Kevin...

Have you seen the 1963 Plus 4 two seater that Classicwise, near Newark in Nottinghamshire have for sale?

It's been available for sale for a long time and they are asking £23,950 for it.

If interested I know it's back story... and have even driven it!

Cheers,

Mark

No problem Kevin.

Seasons Greetings.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Kevin,

If you're interested I can send you some photos of how she is now.

I have recommissioned her over the last couple of years and she certainly looks (and goes!) a lot better than when I bought her.

Just PM me with your email address and I will send them to you.

Cheers,

Mark

racing3-gal.jpg Hi Kevin, Not a Super Sports and not a 'bustle back' but the ex: John Looker Goodwood, Silverstone and International Oulton Park (amongst many others) 1955 Plus 4 OWP 38 that he raced in period...! Definitely not a trailer queen but up and running with bags of patina! Cheers, Mark

Hi Jim,

i know where there is a set of Cobra 6 x 15 centre laced wire wheels if of any interest...?!

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks for letting me know Brett.

Are those wire wheels you offered to Jim 6" wide - like the Cobra wire wheel, or are they 51/2" measured from the inside of rim to rim?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Brett,

Hope you are well...

On the subject of wire wheels - do you happen to have one or even two of the 1960's Plus 4 race wire wheels?

They were homologated for the racing Plus 4's in period and are 51/2" x 15.

Just thought I would ask on the off chance...

Cheers,

Mark

Morning Kevin, I thought you had found a Plus 4 last year...?! What are you looking for - other than a Super Sports?! I am going to sell my ex: John Looker 1955 Plus 4 as I have bought something else! Machiel Kalf included a write up about it in an Historic Register article in Miscellany last year b...

Hi Kevin and Eddie, Well spotted! I remember this car being advertised back in 2021 too. Although there weren't so many photos of it then. As you say Eddie the price reduction is 'interesting...' but I think reflects the current downturn in prices for fifties and sixties sports cars. I don't think t...

Hi all, I agree it is a great shame that interest in brakehorsepower has wained over the last couple of years. I guess there are other platforms (WhatsApp, Facebook etc) that people now use but I for one still regularly view brakehorsepower. It does seem as if many people like me still do view it - ...
