Just to let you all know I am unable to attend on Friday as I broke a rib yesterday in a high wind windsurfing wipeout in France. Bloody painful and only treatment is a pint of the local red brew every 6 hours which is incompatible with driving! Seems us SEC members are slightly accident prone.....

Hopefully you'll be well soon!

Great to see a real one on the stand, Well great to see a real one full stop.!!
Thanks Paul for bringing the car to the Club Stand, and Welcome to the Club.
Paul's car showed the clear differences between the real, and replica cars, when you start to look closer at them side by side. Small bits are missing here and there, return edges on the tub and chassis different etc.
Close the cam's and it becomes harder to spot, mind, and as was pointed out to me, the front louvres are much deeper in design than any of the replicas, they must allow a lot more air flow than the replicas get.
Maybe we need a group buy on some authentic one? Just an idea?
Way, way ahead of you on that one!!

With regard to the front louvres, I heard Gerry discussing them, apparently on all the original cars he has had dealings with he had noticed the the louvres tend to fatigue crack where the louvres but up to the front clam. Therefore he changed the design of the louvres to include a wider section of metal between the edge vent and the clam to prevent this fatigue crackingQuote:

It's not til it's on the car that I'll know for sure, though - too difficult to tell from an A5 test card...!Quote:

I like the colour that Alfaholics used on their restoration, I contacted them and they said they couldn't remember what it was, it was just a colour the owner liked. I think that's their way of telling me they don't want to tell me!Quote:
