Robin Duggan from South Africa is restoring a Brooklands Ace and requires a new radiator. Anyone know what it is or what car it comes from?

The Surrey Group are having their Christmas Lunch at The Mill, Elstead on Sunday, December 13th, 12.30 for 1pm sit down. All the usual suspects have been emailed but if anyone else would like to come who may be in the Club and have not ventured to The Mlll for a while (or at all) then please email bobl@mcsaatchi.com and we would be pleased to see you. Some people have ventured down before and this would be a good time for you to meet the regulars and have fun.

This was meant to be in the October issue of ACtion but by the time you receive November the date may be too late. We have been invited to take part in the London New Year's Day Parade which is attended by a large number of spectators and is shown live on TV. See http://lnydp.com/gallery/videos/
   Mike Loughton (organiser) needs final numbers and also must have paper work back by the latest Tuesday/Wednesday 3/4th November. The reason being they need to collate, and package all the photographs and text on each vehicle, ready for the typesetters to churn out brochures to include all participants in the Parade.
   6-8 vehicles can go so please contact Terry Webb if you would like to be a star for a day!

Congratulations to our Chairman, Andy Shepherd on a fantastic victory against stiff competition from Ferrari and Jaguar to win the Tony Gaze trophy event at Goodwood today. The ex-David Emmans' car, now campaigned by Andy also won at Goodwood with Paul Fletcher back in 1961! Commiserations to Nigel Winchester who  sadly could not make the grid for the race despite excellent practice times.

Nice article on Bill Bridges' Cobra in the Telegraph.

Great day and great weather at the Sprint on Saturday. Many thanks to John Abel for his hard work and effort into organising it for us (and especially organising the weather). Well done. One other thing, does anyone remember a 2 litre in the Paddock that had a huge V8 installed and was for sale. He had a contact telephone number in the window but I've lost it! Does anyone know the owner?

Does anyone know of a restorer they could recommend near Gloucester who could work on 1933 fire damaged AC?
