FF1600 INFO AND ARTICLES

FF1600 INFORMATION, PUBLICATIONS and ARTICLES

POST REVISED 3 OCTOBER 05

I have zerox copies of the following magazine articles and publications for those who might be interested in the history and various technical aspects of Formula Ford cars and the Kent engine. In deference to copyright laws ( even though I don’t think any of the authors would object! ) the copies are "free" but there's a trick because I cover my costs and make few bucks by charging for "postage and handling". Hey, one way or another, the Z16 is going to have fresh tires on it next season!! Send me an email indicating which of the following are of interest and I’ll respond ASAP with details. John Merriman,

By the way I caught your submission to MOTORSPORT in the September issue, nice shots. I partcularly enjoyed the photo of Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme at Bridgehampton Can Am.

Thanks,
