Not MG MMM but after 7 years of searching for parts (and making a lot) we have now finally finished our Delahaye and it's off to the trimmers next week.

Ross,
Quite delightful! Well done.
Is it coming to Barley for the trimming?

No John was to busy to take the car so it's off to Aldridge trimmers in Wolverhampton!

I like the drip tray for the carbs.

The drip trays are a must as the inlet and exhaust ports are on the same side and the carbs are prone to flooding. One more investment before racing starts is a plumbed in fire extinguisher system!

| Quite excellent . Now , are we to see you in VSCC Set 3 in the future ? Pembrey in August is an ideal Delahaye circuit ( ask John Polson ) and Snetterton in September is a must . Its good to see you are aware of the incendiary properties of the side-draught Solex carbs. By the way , what gearbox do you have - Cotal 85 , Delahaye or Hotchkiss ? |

Fred we will try and get to Pembrey but really want to get a few miles underway before we race it so snetterton may be more realistic!
Yes the carbs are a bit of a hand full! Peter Golding has also had a set from us for his car, was this once one of your projects?

| Yes, Ross , that was mine once . I cheated , and fitted SU carbs , but still was going to fit a plumbed-in fire system . But now I am very happy racing the J2 with the MMMs , will be touring in the F Magna , but still building the Hotchkiss 686 . |
