Dont recall what day it was but saw a GT40 at the shell garage in chorleywood. Red and yellow I think. Followed out by a DK engineering van which may make sense.

He spied me coming out of a side street and had a good look, then as I went up haworth road and he headed off to Bingley I passed him on the left. Mature bloke, car looked in good fettle, he had another good look as did I. Nice.

Also spotted the local "1 FER" which he currently has on an all black 458 Italia on Kenilworth Road Coventry Sat evening...
