The photograph in the first post on this page was taken in 1971 in the car park of the Chadwell Heath public library.
The car had been pushed along a main road by three young men in order to find a nice background for the photos.
At the time, the car had a dummy DFV engine, a dummy Hewland DG.300 gearbox, no exhausts or shock absorbers - but it was a start.
How do I know this? I was one of the three young men.
I will check with my cousin Peter Connew regarding the steering rack.
