Haven't quite worked out how to post multiple pictures onto the forum, so may have to do it in piecemeal. Bear with me guys. Attachments:

Hi Guys, I f you go the following link s1021.photobucket.com/albums/af337/jasagracer/You will find a selection of pictures of not only my 1450 Terrapin, but others I have taken pictures of. The ZZR one was the car Ed Hollier bought off a guy who competed in the ASEMC sprint championship, which I used to run years ago. I had the chance to buy this car but.... Doh! Feel free to e-mail me any questions etc on chris@flatoutfarr.co.uk

Thanks jasagracer the link works a treat - some great images. Where are all these cars now ? The red Terrapin was my old one. Would love to get it back. The car with the sidepods was my old car as I bought it but the cooling was rubbish in that format. I have learnt so much about aerodynamics since then, that I would have re-done the sidepods differently. The joys of having friends working for the GP teams with specialist knowledge!!

Rob,
Can you still supply chassis drawings and if so, how much? Getting A1 copies is easy at any plan printers. I get my drawings printed locally for very sensible prices.
The original ones I had off Alan were from what was obviously an early linen negative. If no-one has already done so, you can easily get more modern negatives taken off the prints and even get them scanned as pdf electronic files. I do it all the time.

You've talked yourself into an article about aerodynamics for side pods and the best way to get good cooling. I (and many others) look forward to your eagerly awaited article complete with drawings and material lists !!!

Had a result! Whilst turning out the remains of some cardboard boxes, I found my Xerox copy of the original HSLC book reduced to A4 size. (i.e. each page is A5). Can do copies if anyone wants them.

Love those photos. My chassis has been modified over the years and it is great to see other Terrapins to compare ideas. They are thin on the ground over here.
