  Hi,good site just found you.
I used to own ESU816 which i believe is now in Australia,i did receive a letter from the owner asking for info/etc but it took 2 years to catch up with me, having left the UK
for NZ and moved several times here.Tried the E mail address given but no reply!
Loved the car and only sold because the local council pulled my garage down to build flats.
Found some bits when unpacking in NZ,trim,wheel cylinders/etc but binned them when no reply to E,sorry!
Only got photos now.
Regards Peter C

  Hi All, bought an Olympic back in '65 for £30.00 lol. Drove it for a year bur was insured with Fire Auto Marine.... well who else would insure a teenage just pasted thier test. No wonder they went bust. The previuos owner and builder was a local shoe shop owner by the name of Bagget, he used to race the car at the local circuits Llandow being one. So it got laid up for 40 odd years now I am old and reduntant it is time for a restoratin project to keep me off the streets. Any info would be appreciated Reg No was/is RTG590

  In 1982 I helped the late Richard Parker produce a new shell from the phase 2 mould at his factory in Stanton.
The mould preparation took a long time because of the poor condition following use by various club members. Richard put a false floor in the mould to lower the body line.
The shell was self coloured green. I have pictures. I assisted Richard in order to learn how to produce a shell with a view to moulding one for myself, but work got in the way and it never happened. Does anyone know whether Richard ever completed this car?

  Hello to Derek Bentley. If you have ever wondered what happened to the strange Jock who way back when bought 857JGO, an original Olympic with rear hatch badly cut out and an MGA 1622 cc engine, I still have her and will hopefully get some work done on her in 2011.
Four kids, an old house and a Darracq intervened. You can see the Darracq at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2912R9peoWY .
Best wishes for 2011 to all Olympians.

  I have just purchased the GT on your website - green with yellow stripe DAS 910. Fran, the previous owner planned to vintage race with it, but had continuing poor luck with the car eg. smoking electrics, occasional no start(fuel), bonnet flew up smashing windscreen and damaging the bodywork, etc... he just lost interest. I manage a restoration/repair shop and we were looking for an unusual candidate for a vintage race project. Now we have one. Just about everyone in the shop is excited about it.
