jw4 Looking for a big favour from anyone attending the Autosport Show

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Those of you who have been following my JW4 rebuild thread will know I have quite an interest in anything relating historic Formula 4, and in the Coy's auction listing for the Autosport show happens to be a Tecno Formula IV car which was extracted 2-weeks ago from the garage of motorcycle dealer Don Hichcock.

Unfortunately I can't make it to the show or auction myself and Coy's have so far been unresponsive to my requests to view it at their premises before it is taken to the auction. Whilst I'm not looking to buy (I've got enough cars already!!!!) i am interested to see how the design and construction of the Tecno differs to that of my own JW4's the internet has plenty of photos of these cars but nothing that really shows the detail.

 

Would anyone going to the show be willing to take some photos of the car for me (as many as possible) and specifically close up details of the front and rear suspension, hubs and rear drive assemblies. In exchange for this I'd happily pay the £10 for the auction program that gives admission and access for two people to the auction and any extra costs associated with getting the pictures to me?

 

I'd be eternally grateful to anyone that is able to help

I took some photos of this on my mobile phone yesterday. It was quite close to the fence but the bodywork was on so could not get real detailed stuff.

I also took a few may not be what your looking for though mark

@XTR2Turbo @John @bunje

Thank you all for your pictures, they're all a great help and the more pics the better. Its good to be able to make a comparison to my car and already I've spotted a few interesting features.

i'll be watching tomorrows auction with interest to see what it sells for, I could guess but I shall refrain from doing so other than I suspect it'll be for a lot more than I paid for for any of my three JW4's

Very lucky that it was right at the front. If you went tomorrow to look at it you wouldn't get anywhere near the stand to take decent pictures. The joys of trade days 

[Andy (Sycho)]

I also took a couple much the same though

Just sold for £5000
