Hi Rudy
I am sure others would suggest others but here are i think the best
Crystal Palace classic weekend 2 Day event
Goodwood festival of speed 4 day event i think
Silverstone Classics 3 day event
Goodwood Revival My Favourite 3 day event
TVR pre 80s meet one day event
The actual dates for 2013 on these you would need to check Goodwood Revival and TVR 80S ypu may be able to do both if you come for a week but that depends on what dates they decide that year.
Hope that Helps
Got my new floor Mats from Adrian Today they are fantastic just like the original (thanks Adrian)

when rebuilding engine I noticed that flywheel could do with a change,can you place onother one from another engine or
do you have to rebalance it with the pistons and camshaft?
where to find a better one?
thanks

Why can you not use the original? Have you damaged it when removing? The essex flywheel is heavy and can be significantly lightened without detrement. If yours just has some surface corrosion then this should clean up without much problem. I am no expert on these engines so not sure if the flywheel has a built in out of balance which needs to be retained after machining to lighten but regardless..Dynamic and static balancing of any fast road engine when you have it in bits is always a good idea..You can do most of the static balancing yourself with kitchen scales.. Parts can be obtained via Burtons, London or Car Clinic in Darwen, lancs. http://www.essexengines.com/http://www.essexengines.com/tuning%20the%20essex%2...N.

tunepipe911 said: what is advantage with the lighter wheel,easy cranking over I suppose? Engine will "pick up revs" quicker, less mass to get moving. tunepipe911 said: teeth are damaged? Maybe not damaged, ring gear teeth have a "lead in" to help starter motor pinion engage.

rebuilding the chassis,waiting for the starter-ring to finish engine and gearbox bought myself an handy tool to sandblast all smaller parts(using white sand for the alloy parts and the harder grid for the steel parts) outriggers are next,see if it will become a fun or a terrible job
