MG Midget and Sprite General - W&P Cars
| I put out a request awhile ago, but I think that it might have got lost deep in another thread - could anyone with a W&P car please get in touch with me on rachel-macbathotmaildotcodotuk - thanks |
| rachmacb |
| Rach, did you try www.tupperware-forum.com ? LOL!! Ill get my coat... |
| Arie de Best |
| Rach, did you try Tim's web-site? http://www.williamsandpritchardregister.co.uk/ Arie, I have just been contacted by yet another Dutch Lenham owner. It seems that Holland is a good place for (re)storing Tupperware!! JS |
| John Shep |
| Why Arie - would you like me to buy you some new items for your picnic basket?! Yes thanks John - but we're also looking for some extra ones ;) |
| rachmacb |
| John, ive not yet seen a Lenham at events in Holland. Is it a racer or a road-sprite/midget? "Why Arie - would you like me to buy you some new items for your picnic basket?!" Surely Rach, you cant be that blond? :) |
| Arie de Best |
| Arie de Best, Holland View vehicle profile John, ive not yet seen a Lenham at events in Holland. Arie - you must have had your eyes closed then at the Zandvoort race meeting you came to, there were two there that day as I recall. A |
| Andrew McGee |
| Mark Dols has a racer with W&P bodywork as I recall Arie, Onno are you in touch with Mark? JB |
| James Bilsland |
| Andrew, you know that weekend my mind was at the Yorkshire pudding you brought me, I cant remember anything but that anymore. ;) James, Ive met Mark and his car(orange is always popular in Holland). Spoke to him a couple times on track and at Coen's, sold him some halfshafts and been at his house to pick up some stuff from Coen. 
|
| Arie de Best |
| John, Andrew, I have seen this one on track but dont know the owner, is it Dullaart? Never seen one on the Dutch roads tho. 
|
| Arie de Best |
And the rear
|
| Arie de Best |
| No that car was David Gibsons. I think Coen ended up looking at that one also. A. |
| Andrew McGee |
Not sure but could the yellow one having a Lenhambonnet?
|
| Arie de Best |
Better shot of (i think) same car in 2008.
|
| Arie de Best |
| Yes that one is Hans Dullaerts car. The second picture shows John Moon's car which I'm not sure if it got rebuilt after a major one at Silverstone last year. |
| Andrew McGee |
| Andrew, John Moon's car, is that the black nr 26 at the front? |
| Arie de Best |
| black 26 is Simon Page's |
| David Smith |
| Nope - I leave that to you! I am and always will be proud to be red and have the temper to match!!!! |
| rachmacb |
| Sorry David but the 26 car is Ian Burgin who now works in Italy for a race car team that's red in colour. |
| Andrew McGee |
| yep I see now - rollbar is the giveaway |
| David Smith |
| Arie, This is Rob Vermaas Lenham GT competing the Tulip Rally 
|
| John Shep |
| Aha, you mean that kinda Lenham GT, I forgot that model is also arround(although its bonnet is a speedwell-sebring). There is another one of this model in the netherlands in my favorite collor: gunmetal. It was restored at a company S+S tuning in Haaksbergen. Thats where I saw it in 2009. I do have a picture of it somewhere... Found it 
|
| Arie de Best |
| and another, I think somewhere I have more of this car... 
|
| Arie de Best |
then there's Ton Blankespoor's racer...
|
| David Smith |
| No 99 isn't Moon's car, it's Hans Dullaert's old car which IIRC his son raced and was up for sale last time I heard. (Hans is the yellow one alongside 99) Speaking to John Moon last year, his car wasn't that badly damaged in the Silverstone impact, certainly not as bad as some in the actual Midget race that looked a lot less dramatic. John's 57 in Arie's collecting area pic. What year was that Arie? 06? Don't think I'm there. That's Simon Page tucked in behind John Faux's 58. Simon's car is still around on the hillclimb circuit. |
| Max max-at-midgetmax-dot-com |
| David, your right, I totaly forgot about the Blankespoor Lenham. Actuly it seems Holland is infested with Lenhams. :) Max, it was indeed 2006 (september). Its where McGee stopped in the cattylitter for an emergency pee ;) Could be Simon Page passing him here? 
|
| Arie de Best |
| Good thing there was a brittish pit-crue over staying at my place. Mr Boldry working on the car getting instructions from Tarquin en being shouted at in his ear to hurry by Andrew Harrington :) That was a great weekend: beautifull weather, good races and lots of beer! Cant wait for the summer again, ive so had it with the sh*tty weather this winter... 
|
| Arie de Best |
| I am not yet that into the dutch tupperware brigade though I think I might be part of it! Have not had time to fix my ashley top so far it is on the top of the list for when the warmer weather starts. |
| Onno Könemann |
| And ive found another Dutch Lenham (old style Lenham that is). John, you know any of these? 
|
| Arie de Best |
And another of Rob Vermaas at the Tullip-Rally
