mentioned in dispatches!

I will try and sort out the cars. You will have guessed that I am not so brilliant at the technology.

Give me a lump of milliput and a good set of files and that is another matter.

Thanks for that great post-those pics are very useful!

That's an impressive range! My next car was going to be Old Yaller II, now I know it already exists I'll look elsewhere.

Been a bit distracted by the good weather lately ! It has allowed whittlers anonymous here at AA Bodies to get outside and do some serious mould making. Finally I will be making up the boxes to pour in the mould rubber in the next couple of days. The latest victims are the Ferrari 355 1957 Le Mans and Millie Miglia well I just had to do it as I could not afford the real one. Then next up is the Elva Courier from 1960 another one I have trying to do for ages.and finally just for it,s looks and a one off the Caballo De Hiero [ iron horse ] from A.K MILLAR which ran in the 1957 Mille Miglia it really is a stunner. Anyway I hope to have some pictures of the finished bodies soon.

She's a looker David.

How come I really don't recognise this car as a she....this is definitely a He.

Chris

Is that the mark 1 ?

Mine is the mk2 from the Millie Miglia 1957 and I can imagine the looks they got when they revved up that 6+ litre in the garages!

Well it is certainly unusual which is what I am always looking for. For my next moulds I would like to do a Sadler Mk3 if I can find the measurements. Not always easy. Anyway it should be mould very soon so I can get one painted up.

Moving on to glass fibre and now resin slot car bodies. All bodies are to 1/32nd scale although an odd early body or two might be a bit suspect.

Well it seems a long time since I posted this but time has slipped by at a vast speed of knots and due to unforeseen circumstances the body business took a back seat but hey ho teddy bear happens in the great scheme of things and trouble is you just don,t see the banana skin till you have stepped on it. Hopefully Chris will be kind enough to put up my photos of the three cars I have just completed. The three cars are Caballo de hierro mk 2 which ran in the Targa Floria in 1957 followed by that expensive piece of red metal the Ferrari 335 from Le Mans 1957 then just for a bit of fun the Elva Courier from 1958.

[Chris Wright]

Five New Bodies From AA Bodies

1957 FERRARI 335, only 4 of these were made, one was written off in the
tragic accident in the 1957 De Portago accident in the Millie Miglia. Two
were entered in the 57 Le Mans race unfortunately neither finished.

1955 SALMSON SPYDER 2300, 1955 Le mans driven by Jean Paul Colas
and Franc-Jaques Dewez did not finish the race.

1957 CABELLO DE HIERRO MK 2, [ the iron horse ] built and entered
in the 1957 Mille Miglia by AK MILLAR built on a modified Kurtis Kraft
chassis and packing a V8 Chrysler Hemi. On the rough roads it ran
out of brakes just after Ravenna.

1958 ELVA COURIER, was a successful club racer in the UK and The USA
and as over 600 were made there are still a lot of the around.

1955 PEUGEOT CONSTANTIN, Le Mans 1955 driven by Jaques Savoye
and Jaques Poch did not finish the race.

The wheels are obviously not perfect they came off a scalextric Mercedes and the best I had to hand. Overall I am fairly happy with it. One of the best sports cars to come out of Canada. It races a lot at Goodwood and gives the similar Chevrolet powered Listers a run for their money. As know one else had done it I decided to have a go. And so the quest goes on for the next victim which might turn out to be the Willment Climax once driven by non other than Graham Hill. Time is ticking and I will hope to get it done soon.

[cambridge]

I have the Willment Climax which appears to be spot-on, a lovely little car. I also have the Elva which was a wee bit long so I shortened it midships. Easy job. David also sent me a Lola Mk 1 as a thankyou for making brass masters for his new Lotus 6 mudguards, to be cast in white metal. I found it to be overwide and David agreed the mould needed remaking, so I sent him the model with all the reworking done, back to him as a master for the new mould which is ready to go.

He also told me he does a march 707 which I've just made some brass master parts for and they are away being cast in w/m currently and, best of all, he sent me a Chevron B19 and a Lola T210 "pigeon pair" and both are lovely models. Forget Fly's efforts, David's B19 is great and will go so well with the Lola, but he doesn't have them in his listings. He should as they're great little models for a Group 6 2 litre fan like me!

He also sent me the rear engined Birdcage model for my son who restored the real car at Hart Racing and actually drove it briefly at the Le Mans classic. But, David, it's a Tipo 64, not a 61. BTW, the Lotus 6 is gorgeous! I always preferred it to the 7.
