More competition photos of Denis Best's car will be added in the near future. Pages are also being prepared for another GT Coupe and a further Le Mans Coupe.

A page for this car will be put up shortly. 14 June 2009 At present, the Register is aware of 8 Lenham GTs, 23 Le Mans Coupes and 5 GTOs. A Le Mans Coupe with a Sebring GT nose has recently been for sale in NSW, Australia. It is believed that it has been bought. More to come... Terry Brown's Le Mans Coupe page has been updated with additional photos and information on the car. This is a spectacular car that has been highly modified over the years. 14 May 2009. The Register has been contacted by another two GT owners. One is in the UK and the other in Germany. Although both cars were known, they were not part of the Register. Hopefully these cars will have their own pages shortly. Denis Best has forwarded some photos of his weekend at Bathurst for the FoSC meeting. A few of these have been added to his page. Denis was also competing at Eastern Creek recently where he had an "off" at Turn 1. Hopefully the car is not too badly damaged and will be repaired soon. Finally, a Le Mans bodied Midget was recently sold on e-bay. The Register hopes to make contact with the new owner so that a page can be added for that car. 21 April 2009. The register has been in contact with David Matthews. David has kindly sent many photos of his previous cars and I will be placing them on a separate page shortly.David has also supplied a few period photos of other cars to be traced including the "Pirelli" Lenham GT, seen here at Watkins Glen in 1990.
