Just showing you how we set the Hodges tunnel up to Carry three people and all the rocket launchers and machine gun turret. Rolla made the prop. It would launch itself up on plane, Max at 75– and still handle like a race boat. Took a while to figure it all out and put it together, but Mark- Me -and Hodges got it hauling mail.
After my first time changing Silo gaskets — scraping them off the metal, I never wanted to see another one again.
And all those bolts/studs for an exhaust system.
There is no infatuation on my part, for those engines.

I've never seen the "cowbell" before. I had some naïve assumption it was the downwards taper in the BP mid section. What was the logic in bolting them to the base of the exhaust log? Did they work better than stacks? Or just make the drivers deaf (LOL)? The cowbell actually looks like the ancient ancestor to the SST140 tuner?

Another couple of pics of the CONDORMAN boat—— taken during the escape from Monte Carlo harbours shoot! Four foot rollers were coming into the harbour, but the scene had to be shot that day—- the Baron Von Thyssen yacht was ncosting £3,000 per day and the film was already a million over budget . Crew didn’t seem to care—— The Mouse had plenty of money!

Still think the whole sequence was one of the best boat chases ever—— better than any of the Bond movies. the six all black “BRODNOVITCH” ] squirts —— the three seater Hodges, and the 40’ Abbatte !
Only boat not totally destroyed was the Hodges!
Remy Julians team managed to total six 911 S Porch’s .
Also one ROLLS ROYCE limousine ! I did manage to rescue the FLYING LADY Radiator emblem! ,
