June 2010 THIS MONTH
Welcome
6 NEWS Lots going on this month.
IT HAS BEEN a super busy month here. The build up to the Stoneleigh Show on the first May Bank Holiday is always crazy, but it has been made doubly so this year because of the production and creation of two very exciting new products. The first is John Dickens’ brand new book, Automotive Electrics. John’s done a typically thorough and well researched job of writing his latest book and I’m thrilled with the way it has turned out. It really doesn’t matter if you only want to smarten up the existing wiring on your kit car or build a brand new bespoke loom from scratch, this book will tell you how to do it, with the aid of copious pictures and diagrams and easy to follow instructions. Priced at just £19.95 plus postage, you can order it direct from the CKC website at www.completekitcar.co.uk The second project I’ve had involvement with this month has once again involved John, but this time with him in front of a camera rather than a computer keyboard. In conjunction with East Coast Fibreglass and a production company called Digiwiz, we’ve filmed a brand new DVD which would make the perfect accompaniment to John’s first book, Automotive Fibreglass. Basic Fibreglass Techniques concentrates on the basics of fibreglassing, showing you the materials involved and how to make a flat fibreglass panel and repair scratches and cracks in existing panels. Of course, the beauty of seeing it on camera is that you have a perfect understanding of exactly how the process is done... because you can watch John actually do it as he’s talking you through the process. Basic Fibreglass Techniques is going through final production as we go to press, but I’m very excited about this perfect sister product to John’s fibreglass book and, by the time you’ve read this, you should also be able to order it from the CKC website for just £15.95 plus postage. The Newark kit car show (19th/20th June) seems to have crept up on me without notice, giving some indication of just how busy the first half of this year has been. This is a lovely show that all the CKC team thoroughly enjoy. It has a superb atmosphere, a modern exhibition hall with a good cross-section of manufacturers and lots of interesting outside displays. If you can, this is an event where you should stay on into the evening and head for the bar, where there’s always a good band playing live and a great party atmosphere. To give you some perspective, this is the only show at which I camp overnight... and I hate tents! So get along if you can, bring your kit car if you have one and enjoy one of the longest established kit car events on the show calendar. And in case you think I’m biased, we don’t even sponsor it!
Your thoughts and, occasionally, rants!

NEW CAR
Hawk Allen Grant Executor Replica
Coventry Climax YOU MAY BE forgiven for thinking that the car spread across these pages would be more at home in a classic car magazine than in a kit car title. In our scene, Cobras tend to be all about fat tyres, cream leather and lashings of chrome. Headline grabbing fake snakes, in other words. But Hawk Cars has always set itself aside from that interpretation of the theme. Led by Gerry Hawkridge, the company has always trodden a path of exquisite authenticity. Hawk has also been almost unique in offering the daintier 289 shape Cobra. Over the years, the range has been swelled to include the limited run 39 PH model, the 1.8/2.6 with its early style Barchetta front end styling, a 427 and hand-crafted aluminium bodies. The aim has always been the same: to serve Cobra aficionados. The new replica recreates a very specific Cobra – the ‘Executor,’ raced by Allen Grant from 1963. It was September of that year that the car had its first outing, and Grant was intent on impressing the Shelby works outfit. He’d joined the team several months previously, initially hoping to get a drive but settling for a welding job. Even with a foot in the door, it was proving difficult to progress to the driver’s seat. Some previous success in club racing with his AC Bristol had given Grant the confidence that he was talented enough; he had to show Carroll Shelby that he was as good as the likes of Billy Krause, Dave McDonald and Ken Miles who drove the factory race cars at the time. From inside the team, Grant arranged to sell the last available competition Cobra to Coventry Motors on the proviso that he would drive it. Jay Brown, the proprietor of Coventry Motors, researched Grant’s background and agreed to the deal. The car was immaculately prepared and finished in a distinctive, eye-catching yellow and black colour scheme. It was all part of the peacocking display that would help Grant get spotted. The livery was designed by George Lucas – the same
Hawk Cars has added to its portfolio of Cobra replicas with the Executor – a recreation of the car built by Coventry Motors and raced by Allen Grant to catch the eye of Carroll Shelby. Adam Wilkins takes a look at the new car.

man who would later become a famous film-maker. Meanwhile, works mechanic Ole Olsen built a very competitive 289cu in V8 and the car was christened the Executor. Its mission was to kill off all-comers, including the works cars. Not that it would face the Shelby cars in that first outing at Santa Barbara in September ’63; on that occasion, stiff opposition would come from the West Coast’s fastest Corvettes. Grant and the Executor did their job, though, claiming victory in both races. Grant’s first race against Shelby’s own cars was at the LA Times Grand Prix at Riverside in front of a crowd of 60,000 spectators. In the lead-up to the event, he had been bullish about his chances. Now was the time to perform... The story behind the plucky Executor makes it famous enough for

JUNE 2010
WANDERING AROUND A scrapyard one day in 1970, Ian Boyle drew inspiration from a Mercedes Type 220 radiator grille that was lying around. Without knowing what he’d use it for, he bought it. Having had it for a while, he spotted a chassis in his friend’s garage. Peter Ruddick, the owner of the chassis, often had a collection of sports cars in various states of repair and, since the chassis was surplus, he agreed to sell it to
Ian. With nothing more than a radiator grille, a chassis and an idea in his head, Ian set about creating a sports car that has survived to this day. We discovered the car when current custodian, Kevin Tucker, brought it to last month’s Detling show. The vast crowd around it made it difficult to get near, let alone try to identify. We just had to find out the full story... A fair amount of the car’s history is known
thanks to a large file of photographs, receipts and correspondence that’s been amassed over the years. However, there are still enough gaps in the archive to keep the intrigue buzzing. By the time the build of the one-off began, the Buckler underpinnings were already old, the cars having been in production from 1947 to ’62.

ONE CAR!
ONE MAN!
ONE DAY?
At Southside we are always trying to make our trade interesting, for our staff and our customers! Well I think this time we have managed to come up with an idea that should get people talking..... one of our directors Colin Cooper, a big car enthusiast, especially the kitcar side of the industry has given himself a big challenge? This has not been done before and to tell you the truth we don't know that it can be done! He is going to attempt to build a Dax Rush from start to finish in 24hrs!! Not just any Dax Rush, but a fully equipped top of the range, SVA ready car! Honda Vtec 250bhp Engine 6 Speed Manual Box Full Leather trim Cosworth running gear Fully custom painted Body – he will need a bit of help with this, but it will be done same day! We are then adding the extra challenge of attempting this with our doors open for anyone who wants to come along and see what's being done! You are welcome to visit us, have a drink, ask questions, you can see Colin building the car and also see the body being painted! So all of you out there that would love to have one of these, but think maybe it would be to tricky to build... well we aim to show that anyone can build one, maybe not in a day! but certainly with a bit of planning and help from the right people, it is easily acheivable.
