Helping Practical Classics

[Keith Bennett]

Richard Dredge is a professional motoring journalist and photographer, and in 2014 an article was being run on suspension set-ups similar to that used on the A40. He contacted me to ask whether I could arrange with Gary to have Gab lofted so he could take some photos. At that time Gary hadn't yet installed his two-post lift and was using a much smaller, transportable one and Gab always had to be precisely balanced if she needed to be raised.

Also, Richard needed some other technical advice, so Gary & I invited webmaster Dave along to help out with the article. Here he is, keeping a close eye as the first phots were being taken . . .

Despite Gab's seemingly precarious tilt, Gary assured us she was okay!

With the photo session over, it was time for Richard to pick Dave's brains.

I've enjoyed quite a long relationship with Richard and he's always willing to give the Club a mention whenever he can. He's a good friend to us.

Thanks for sharing Keith, it is always nice to see what Gab has been up to over the years! We are so lucky to have such people
helping to raise the profile of these great little cars!!
