If you want to do a Lola GT6 wide arch version I would be eternally grateful

Very cool list, Gordon.

Every time I see your thread title, I think of a song called "Mambo Number-5" by Lou Bega.

Fantastic "body" of work Gordon, a list to be proud of, though some larger photos would do them more justice.

There are a few there that I've missed.

One little correction though, your lovely J-Type is a Morris.

Quite an impressive row, Gordon!

Now you've made me count as well...   I am almost reaching half your numbers, but it is no contest!
But then you work faster, and I work slower...
It is strange, why don't more guys take to the knife when they see how fun we are having?

Cheers
Carver

We try and inspire Carver  

I thought most of the cars had been on this thread but here are some bigger ones anyway!

Only 20 allowed per post!

Ohhhh I do like the Maser Gordon!!

RE: I'm into bodies - JasonB - 1st-Dec-21

Me too, and I also really like the Revis, which I presume is a half litre F3?

Personally I'd put hand made bodies, and brass chassis at the pinnacle of our hobby. Well, I love to see them anyway. They are proper craftsmanship, and have such a unique character.

RE: I'm into bodies - Gordon Steadman - 1st-Dec-21

Not sure why I called the J a Bedford but it's corrected now, thanks Jason.

The Revis is a fascinating car. As you say 500 glorious cc's. I must get it out of the spares box and see if a Pittman will fit. A 16D fits...just. by putting it on its side.

Incredible selection Gordon, and wow, so clever...

I love your Old Yeller ll.   Superb.  I was lucky enough to meet the current "custodian ", Mr Ernie Nagamatsu, at the Goodwood Revival a few years back.  We chatted for like 20 minutes,  and he  even asked my Dad and myself to sign his racing book, which was full of stories/comments and good luck messages from Drivers, mechanics and supporters.  Such a lovely guy. 

I can make a resin bodyshell look nice, but my talents fall massively short of your skill and craftsmanship.   

Oh to be so clever.......
