After a bunch of research, and I mean a lot, I have gone with the CRS GP38RD forks. I looked at Maxton for new stanchions and cartridges, I looked at Sports Valve in NZ, and even found a company in Canada building limited sets of Marzocchi 38mm forks but I just didn't want to have to deal with import duties and VAT and all the extras on something quite spendy.
. The CRS guys seem to be pretty on to it, with information and help, and they appear to have quite a lot of sets of forks out there in the real world too.
Had I not needed to do stanchions, and, had one of the fork sliders been ok, I would have refurbished mine, but the cost of trying to save my existing forks was heading to equal or north of the CRS forks . Remarkably they have all the parts in stock for assembly, and it takes about 3 days from payment receipt to shipping for a turn around.... I like dealing with companies that are that organised

And by the sound of it, you'll end up with a far superior fork to the Marzos. No brainer really.

Are those CRS forks really legal for vintage racing with actual adjustable damping, in both directions? I remember seeing them when they first appeared, way too expensive (for most people) to put on your adolescent-fantasy-finally-realised-at-age-55 pride and joy, and almost certainly not legal in many vintage racing categories.
Still, they look bloody nice ... maybe after I buy the 4-valve head ...

I think I recognize that
That Ferrari being described as Rosso Corsa to try and sound posh and impress total idiots who imagine that they belong to another world because their car is Rosso Corsa rather than red and their coffee is latte rather than milk.

Actually , he doesn?t care about the color of the car, he races and rally?s it. Normally he paints all his cars in his own color scheme. I would say it?s the auction company being word smiths there or spin drs or what ever you want to call them.
If he hasn?t used a car for 3 months he sells it, as he only has them to drive.not collect. The auction posting was from some time ago.

I have spent my entire 67 years going to auctions and on several occasions,have been an auctioneer, this was my late fathers main business. I never take any notice of guide prices and to this day I do not understand why we have them. My fathers business and its successor have never taken any premium from the buyer, which was normal until around the 80's, but now it is common place for the seller and the buyer to pay hammer derived "commissions" (+VAT) what the hammer bangs down for is not the true sale price. Its higher.
As a landlord (not the pub type) it is now illegal to charge the prospective and later incoming tenant any fees whatsoever, so where is it all going?
