One more thing re the Atlanta vintage races this weekend. They are
featuring Lotus and expect to have at least one of each model of
sports and racing cars manufactured, including the two oldest Lotus'
outside of the UK, two Mk VIs...plus bunches of others.
Re: Marcus' question on the 1275 rockers. Yes, they should cover
the oil holes in the shaft and yes, bushings are available, either
standard or offset for a higher ratio. Try Seven Ent. 18009927007
or Mini Mania 4042636595. good luck.

This book is about "the British Invasion", British cars imported into
postwar US, mostly through the early 60's I believe. It contains
imformation about the cars, importers, major deals & dealers, etc. It
doesn't cover cars that weren't imported. From what I've seen, Jonathan
(of Automobile quarterly) has done some fairly in-depth research to
produce a totaly new book. For example, he interviewed the 2 people
responsible for importing and selling Peerless GT's.
Because I helped find some information for him, I have an offer to buy
copies at $30, rather than $39. I'm not sure, what with re-shipping,
weather there would be much savings, but it there is interest I might order
a batch. (If the offer is still valid) E-mail directly to me, subject
"Buy Book"
No, I haven't seen the book yet, and I don't make anything from it.
