| Comments | Having just read the Tornado book , I now realise the Tornados im interested in are Typhoons or i think the Tempest. ( the drop nose front )the red one like on page 54 of photos.It would have to have a hard top as it would be built up for everyday use (i drive a robin at the mo) If anyone has one for sale please email me. many thanks Simon |

| Comments | I built a Tornado Typhoon in Scotland back in 1959, it was the 4 seat version in red, this car made all in my town stare as it went by, it took me two years to complete, & I had to sell it sadly to come to Canada in 1962. I used mostly LMB components (Les Bellamy) I really miss those days so much now. |

| Comments | Yes, Dick Lord raced a Fairthorpe Electron. All I know about him is that he was supposed to attend a SCCA race at Virginia International Raceway in 1961 but for some reason never made it to the track. |

| Comments | I was recently tracked down and reminded by Dave Mailins that I was club newsletter editor way back in 1981!!! It seems that the club has flourished over the past 25 years and I would like to just say hello to anyone who might still remember me or my Talisman (5116 PP) and Fairthorpe (4346 MV) - do they still exist? Nowadays I live in France and my FUN car is a Caterham 7. May the club go on to even bigger things during the next 25 years. Regards Glynn |

| Comments | Nice site, Well done. Was looking through the club car photos. I thought Andy Winston´s Fairthotpe was an Electron, not an EM? I also wonder if the Fairthorpe with reg. pbw 889 is an electron or an em? |
