As previously mentioned, the 74th members Meeting at Goodwood this year featured a number of Porsche 917's both on display and doing demonstration laps round the circuit. Quite possibly the most iconic of these is the Gulf liveried 917 that featured in the Steve McQueen film Le Mans. At the 74MM there were 3 917's that were shown in the Gulf livery, including this car, chassis 917-031, which forms part of the Rofgo Collection of Gulf Liveried cars.
The Porsche 917 was designed by Hans Mezger, chief engineer at Porsche. The car was built using a light spaceframe chassis that was pressurised with gas to detect cracks in the welding. Hans Mezger designed the original 4.5ltr V12 engine, which used two Porsche 2.25ltr flat-6 engines mated together. The gearbox, mounted longitudinally, was designed to take a set of four or five gears as dictated by the circuit and conditions. To ensure that the size of the car remained compact, the driver actually sits with feet positioned ahead of the front axle.
The 917 made use of components made of titanium and magnesium to provide strength and lightness, while the the gear knob was made from balsa wood. One of the clever techniques used to save weight was to put the oil through to the front cooler via the tubular spaceframe chassis itself rather than adding independent pipework that would add weight and complexity.
The Porsche 917 ran in the 1969, 1970 and 1971 World Sportscar Championship. Initially it was described as being incredibly unstable, using all the road at speed by factory driver Brian Redman. When suspension modifications did not resolve the issue, it was found that the long tail was creating an amount of lift not seen in sports racing before. As the 917 was significantly faster than anything that had run at Le Mans before, the aerodynamic lift was a new experience for the teams involved in this kind of racing.
Interestingly, the works racers at the time preferred the Porsche 908 due to its stability, especially on the more complex and technical tracks. This however caused a problem for Porsche who had a surplus of 917's to sell and so wanted to continue promoting the car. To do this they initially approached BMW and asked for their drivers Hubert Hahne and Dieter Quester to compete in the 917 at the 1000km Nurburgring, but after initial testing BMW refused. This led Porsche to turn to Englishman David Piper and Australian Frank Gardner, but they struggled to finish in 8th place whereas the Porsche Team entry of six 908's finished in the top 5 places.
At the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans, the inexperienced privateer and British gentleman-driver John Woolfe crashed and was killed when his Porsche 917 came off the track at Maison Blanche on the opening lap.

I always expect to see a queue of people taking advantage of the free Buxton Spa water…what I wasn’t quite prepared for was a couple who, between them, filled 16 1.5ltr containers! I felt compelled to ask them if they’d left any. They took it as banter…I was serious.
Then, blow me, the next lady filled a 25ltr container!! Nowt as queer as folk, and nowt queerer than folks grasping freebies.

Land Rover Series IIA Forward Control (1962-65) Engine 2495cc
Registration Number BHE 924 B (Barnsley)
The Series IIA Forward Control was launched in 1962, based on the standard Series IIA which was unveiled on year earlier. Powered by a 2.25ltr petrol engine and built on a 109 inch wheelbase, ith the cab positioned over the engine to give more load space. Export vehicles were the first Land-Rovers to get the 2.6-litre petrol engine. Most examples had an ENV (heavy duty) rear axle, a matching front axle came later. Always a little underpowered to cope with the increased load capacity of 1.5 long tons (1500kg) most had a utility body, but surviving examples often have custom bodywork. With an upgraded powertrain.

The 4.25ltr was introduced in 1936 and built as a Saloon, Drophead Coupe, Tourer and numerous Specials, introduced as a replacement for the 1933-37 3.5 litre with an extra 600cc and 16bhp to cope with the heavier bodies. Overdrive top gear from late 1938. The engine was bored to 3½ in (88.9 mm) for a total of 4.3 L (4257 cc/259 in³). From 1938 the MR and MX series cars featured Marles steering and an overdrive gearbox. The model was replaced in 1939 by the MkV, but some cars were still finished and delivered during 1940-1941.
Most 4.25 litres were built, with Park Ward remaining the most popular coachbuilder. Many cars were bodied in steel rather than the previous, more expensive, aluminium over ash frame construction.

The Silver Wraith was the first post-war Rolls-Royce model and was made at the Crewe factory from 1946 to 1959.The first cars had a 127 inch wheelbase chassis based on the one from the pre-war Wraith with coil sprung independent front suspension and semi-elliptic rear with a live axle. The engine was also based on the Wraith, but had a new cylinder head with overhead inlet valves and side exhaust valves and initially a capacity of 4257cc. The engine was further increased to 4566cc (1951-53) and 4887cc (1955-59) The braking system was a hybrid hydromechanical system with hydraulic front brakes and mechanical rear brakes using the mechanical servo from the pre-war cars, patented by Hispano-Suiza and built by Rolls-Royce under licence. Initially, only a four speed manual gearbox was offered, but this was supplemented by a General Motors automatic option from 1952. This was the last Rolls-Royce model to be delivered in 'chassis only' form, in order to receive a wide variety of bespoke coachwork designed and made by a rapidly declining number of specialist coachbuilders. Most of the bodies selected used 'formal' limousine designs. For customers wishing to buy their car with a standard body already fitted, the manufacturer already offered the Bentley Mk. VI.

Sir Malcolm Cambell died at his home on New Years Eve 1948. He did not leave either the 1935 Bluebird LSR car or Bluebird K4 WSR boat in his will, instead they were to be sold off. He had set the Water Speed Record in K4 at 141.17mph just prior to WW2, and after the war he had replaced the originall V12 Rolls Royce engine with a De Havilland Goblin Turbo Jet, but had not made the craft any faster. After his death his son Donald bought K4 back and set about reversing the engine change with one of the original Rools Royce R type engines, he also changed the crafts name from Blue Bird to Bluebird (one word)
Donald Campbell bought this Bentley in February 1949 at which point it was Silver in colour having originally been finished in Black. At the time he gave his address as the Reigate Hill Hotel and it is beleived he lived there while Blubird K4 was undergoing alterations prior to his attempt on the World Water Speed Record at Coniston in August 1949. Campbell had owned many cars and kept the Bentley just over one year. Many of his vehicles were painted Blue and he had a personal St. Christophers medal made, which is still in position on the dashboard. The next owner cherished the car and kept it for 37 years when it was put into storage before purchase by the Museum. During its restoration it was repainted Bluebird Blue and appropriate Bluebird radiatro mascot was aquired and fitted

Last taxed in October 2009. Cheffins vintage auction, Sutton -
"Serial No. 25201771A
Dubbed the Forest Ranger or Bog Trotter, this vehicle is a rare Land Rover variant produced by the Roadless Traction Company in 1960 to help combat the rough terrain encountered by the Forestry Commission. Based on a Land Rover Series IIA with 48ins diameter wheels and tyres coupled to Studebaker axles ensured the Roadless 109 could go where a standard Land Rover would fail. Launched in 1961 at a price of 1,558 for a 2.25ltr petrol, it is believed only 9 units were produced and only a handful survive today. FUD 815C was purchased (with another) new by the Institute of Hydrology to help service and inspect dams, lakes and waterways in South Wales. A spare set of Studebaker axles will also be included along with the original buff logbook. FUC 815C is a rare opportunity to purchase a desirable Land Rover variant and a must for any serious Land Rover enthusiast or collector."

Developed shortly after the Rolls Royce takeover of Bentley in 1931, under the project name Peregrine built on a double drop chassis carrying all round semi-elliptic leaf sprung suspension and assisted drum brakes, the new car used a tuned version of the Rolls-Royce 20/25's 3669cc OHV straight-six. Boasting twin SU carburettors, a wilder camshaft, strengthened con-rods and a higher compression ratio, this revamped unit developed around 120bhp without compromising refinement.

Specially commissioned by the Clyde Auto Co Ltd of Glasgow for display at the 1936 Scottish Motor Show, this particular example - chassis number B-51-HM - began life as a Park Ward saloon. Sold to first keeper, J.B. Macouat Esq of Cleveland Drive, Glasgow, on 20th March 1937 little is otherwise known about its early history. Rumoured to have belonged to Rivers Fletcher or one of his associates at the time, the Bentley was purchased by Geoff Hope of Greenfield Service Station Ltd from Alpine Eagle during summer 1996. Costing some £9,500, the car had been reduced to a rolling chassis but pleasingly retained its original engine (number R8BR). Acting on behalf of fellow Greenfield resident Kenneth Pressley, Mr Hope was subsequently tasked with masterminding its restoration; a process which took some three years and an estimated £60,000 to complete. Successfully aping the style of a circa 1934/1935 Derby Bentley Vanden Plas Tourer,

The 4.5 litre was an evolution of the three litre sharing the cars basic chassis, semi-elliptical suspension and four wheel brakes The 4398cc engine gave around 110bhp in road going for stretched to 130bhp for racing. A 4.5 litre crashed during the 1927 Le Mans 24hour race but another driven by Woolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin claimed overall victory in 1928.

The Silver Wraith was the first post-war Rolls-Royce model and was made at the Crewe factory from 1946 to 1959.The first cars had a 127 inch wheelbase chassis based on the one from the pre-war Wraith with coil sprung independent front suspension and semi-elliptic rear with a live axle. The engine was also based on the Wraith, but had a new cylinder head with overhead inlet valves and side exhaust valves and initially a capacity of 4257cc. The engine was further increased to 4566cc (1951-53) and 4887cc (1955-59) The braking system was a hybrid hydromechanical system with hydraulic front brakes and mechanical rear brakes using the mechanical servo from the pre-war cars, patented by Hispano-Suiza and built by Rolls-Royce under licence. Initially, only a four speed manual gearbox was offered, but this was supplemented by a General Motors automatic option from 1952. This was the last Rolls-Royce model to be delivered in 'chassis only' form, in order to receive a wide variety of bespoke coachwork designed and made by a rapidly declining number of specialist coachbuilders. Most of the bodies selected used 'formal' limousine designs. For customers wishing to buy their car with a standard body already fitted, the manufacturer already offered the Bentley Mk. VI.
This car was bodied by Freestone and Webb and hes undergone a major restoration totalling over £70,000. Receipts, invoices and photographic evidence are available to confirm this. The bodywork was removed from the chassis whilst the coachwork was restored and any mechanical repairs that were necessary were undertaken at this time.

The 4.25ltr was introduced in 1936 and built as a Saloon, Drophead Coupe, Tourer and numerous Specials, introduced as a replacement for the 1933-37 3.5 litre with an extra 600cc and 16bhp to cope with the heavier bodies. Overdrive top gear from late 1938. The engine was bored to 3½ in (88.9 mm) for a total of 4.3 L (4257 cc/259 in³). From 1938 the MR and MX series cars featured Marles steering and an overdrive gearbox. The model was replaced in 1939 by the MkV, but some cars were still finished and delivered during 1940-1941.
Most 4.25 litres were built, with Park Ward remaining the most popular coachbuilder. Many cars were bodied in steel rather than the previous, more expensive, aluminium over ash frame construction.

Mecum Auction Catalog Description
DESCRIPTION
The second Bentley model produced after Rolls-Royce’s acquisition of the Bentley company, the 4.25 L was a development of the earlier 3.5 L. Originally intended to supplement the smaller engined car, the new model’s popularity soon resulted in the elimination of the 3.5 L. The cars were refined and elegant and, as was the convention at the time, fitted with bodies from a wide variety of coachbuilders. While the vast majority of the cars employed British bodies, a few chassis were exported and bodied by foreign coachbuilders.
This is one such car, bodied by Vanvooren in Paris. It was ordered new by Lucie Vogt, the 27-year old daughter of a very wealthy French family that had made its fortune through a number of potassium mines. Ms. Vogt was quite an enthusiast and owned many Bugattis, including a Type 57S that she purchased at age 25. Dissatisfied with the service provided by the Bugatti distributor, she ordered the Bentley from French Rolls-Royce Bentley importers Franco-Britannique in 1937, specifying a sliding sunroof and no rear quarter windows so that her dogs would not be so frightened by the traffic. During the war the car was hidden away and then sold to two Swiss owners. In 1957 the car was imported to an American owner in Massachusetts, who sold the car to another Massachusetts resident in October of 1960, with whom it remained until 2004.
The paint has been renewed to high standards, showing a few touched-up minor chips. The body is well detailed, with numerous interesting lighting details, and even a cutout in the trunk lid for the exhaust tip. Like a proper French-bodied car, it has Marchal headlamps, a Marchal spot lamp and Michelin tires. The styling is very striking, with a rakish roofline and windscreen and teardrop fenders, hinting more at a Bugatti by Stelvio or Ventoux than the traditional Derby Bentley. The chrome has obviously been redone and is excellent.
The very original interior has been selectively renewed and exhibits a nice overall patina. The leather upholstery on the seats and door panels appears to be original and displays much cracking. The wool headliner is of the original type but has likely been redone as it is in excellent condition. The carpets were redone at some point but show some wear; the wood has also been refinished and is excellent, though there are two cracks on the dashboard. Interestingly, the instruments are all in English except for the fuel gauge, which is in French.
The engine compartment has been restored to very high standards, though some of the fasteners and hardware are showing some age. On the whole, however, the engine compartment is extremely presentable and makes a strong impression. The underside is very tidy and clean, displaying much evidence of maintenance.
Vanvooren produced just five fixed-head coupe Derby Bentleys (which includes both 3.5 L and 4.25 L models), and this is likely the only one with the unique so-called custode windows and sliding sunroof. This car enjoys impeccable provenance and complete history from new, and has been sympathetically restored, wearing its age and beauty well.

Der Wirt wollte dann für das Doppelzimmer 85€ haben incl. Frühstück. Der Preis wurde aber bei zwei Übernachtungen auf 75€ je Nacht nach weiterem Protest reduziert. Der Wirt und seine Frau, so bemerkt man sehr schnell, sind sehr geizig und nur an Geld interessiert. Man muss für alles extra bezahlen sogar 2€ pro Person wenn man nach 9:00 Frühstücken will.
Allgemeines zum Hotel:
Die Zimmer sind sauber aber nicht komfortabel sondern eher schlicht. Ein Kühlschrank fehlt dafür steht eine 0,25ltr. Mineralwasserflasche für 1€ auf dem Tisch. Das Badezimmer ist recht eng und die Handtücher sind bund gemischt, mal ganz in weiß, eins in blau und wieder ein anderes in rot. Das Frühstück für 4€ hatte so gerade seinen Wert, es war nichts besonders. Das Brot war nicht frische und die Wurst war einfach und preiswert. Die Benutzung von Internet geht über einen Provider und Kosten 2€ die Stunde, aber beim Abmelden aus dem Internet wird die Uhr nicht angehalten sondern das Guthaben wird verbraucht! Ebenso ist negativ aufgefallen das der Hund sich frei im Restaurant und Küche bewegt und wo überall auf den Scheiben an der Fensterbank in Restaurant seine Nasenabdrücke hinterlassen hat
Resumé:
Diese Hotel ist schlicht und einfach auch im Service und mit einem Preis von 85€ für ein Doppelzimmer einfach viel zu teuer. Der Wirt und seine Frau sind sehr geschäftstüchtig und geizig. Dieses Gefühl nimmt einem jegliche positive Stimmung sich im Hotel Ochsen wohl zu fühlen. Als Tipp lassen sie sich den Preis unbedingt vorher schriftlich bestätigen.

Die Antwort kam prompt aber wie sich später herausstelle zweideutig: „42€ + Frühstück für EZ und DZ im EZ 48€ + Frühstück. Bei Ankunft war dann alles anders.
