Mike,

Sorry you won't be racing with us this year.
Hope you can make it to the track for a "hang-out" weekend.

Great price on a cool Vintage FV.

The design of the frame is very interesting, lots of protection for the driver, long trailing arms and slick bodywork.

Could be ready to race this season with a little more work.

Hi Mike,
Is your car yet for sale ?
If well, do you have some logbook with this car.
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Etienne

[mike w]

Yes. The car is still available.

I do have a logbook. Last raced only a few years ago.

Let me know if you need any other info.

We sold the car to Mike. The car is very capable and easy to drive.

Yes, this car was design by Horst Kroll. As I understand it, when he designed the car he lived on Altona Road, which gave the name to the car. The idea behind the very long trailing arms was for a larger swing radius and limit the suspension geometry change on compression. I can't say if it actually works enough to make a difference, but they also provide some nice side protection!
