Now issue 6 is here, and we are so happy with the finished product, with Dr Mike Lawrence doing the cover story on the 2010 Goodwood Revival, plus we have Nick Mason now with us from Pink Floyd fame, but most of us know he is a major player in the historic racing world. We also have Jon Shirley’s Ferrari 250 TR story and our local lad Tony Haycock came with me to Australia in November and we did the Tony Gaze interview when we were there, so the result of that is in this issue as well. Plus there is a lot more local news as well from Australia.

So I hope you like Issue No. 6!

Cheers,

 Chris Amon Ferrari 250 TR Serial No. 0666 - In 1957 the Ferrari factory fitted a 290 MM chassis with a 3 litre engine with transmission using a De Dion rear axel with leaf springs. It looked very much like a 290 MM with an envelope body. This was to be the first prototype of the highly successful Testa Rossa...
 Nick Mason Nick Mason - Mark and I decided that in the interests of being taken seriously we would leave out a number of vehicles. This includes an early ‘20s model T Ford. At odd times it boasted a number of celebrity owners, but since they included the Keystone Kops and later Coco the Clown, we decided that the falling off doors, the exploding radiator, and the jack-in-a box passenger seat didn’t seem to quite fit with the more Steve McQueen at Le Mans image we fancied for ourselves….
