It looks like a C to me, but weren't the Cs updated Bs anyway?& talking of chassis plates, where does this fit in? Allen's site recognises this chassis as a 'B' & not a 'C'. Maybe it was upgraded?

I don't understand this list. What are the 0x numbers, and what happened to the MS11 and MS84?My understanding (without ORC) is that the build order went:
01 MS10
02 MS80
03 not on my list
04 MS120B, later MS120C
05 MS120B
06 MS120B, later MS120C
07 MS120D

Sorry, I don't understand it either. I should have said the "number order" rather than "build order"I don't understand this list. What are the 0x numbers, and what happened to the MS11 and MS84?

Agreed. Thanks.
I wish that there was a comparable venue in my area to go see vintage racers on track in such a regular manner.

I just had a `drive` around the circuit courtesy of Google Earth and am very impressed by what I saw!! How many circuits in the world can boast such a nice location? If anything Jock, I would suggest a plan to get investors to get together and develop the area into some kind of resort that holds race meetings a few times a year to set the ball rolling. The water park, close proximity to a beautiful beach and the chance to build some kind of hotel facility would draw punters in.
There also looks to be a cracking little go-kart track there aswell which could be used all year round. First things first there needs to be enough support for such development to go ahead (from all the local car clubs etc. and enthusiasts). The main thing is to get on board all the local business folk who would benefit from the income created by the racing fraternity and visitors to the track/resort.
I wish them all the luck in the world and trust that there will be enough support to see the area developed as a resort and track together - motor racing worldwide isn`t just about petrol heads thrashing around on the black stuff, it`s about all the service industry that supplies such a venue. By this I mean catering, cleaning, hotel and resort staff, local shops and towns nearby, taxi drivers and bus companies, travel agents, pubs and restaraunts.
In Donington`s case, I know of one Pub that does Bed and Breakfast about a mile and a half from the circuit, who were £30,000 DOWN in the year that Donington was out of commission!!!

I intend going but I won't be camping as the forcast is that it will be far from the sundrenched spectacle of last year. Still, we hope for the best.

Bloody madness. They need planning permission to put the infield straight? In a sane world, the Council would be ordering them to do it on aesthetic grounds. Anyway, it only needs a quick once over to level it, and then seed it with grass. As Martin Brundle might say, get a pikey to do it for a couple of hundred quid, cash in hand.A little article you might like to read...

As things are, unless the time specified for completion has passed, they could start work on completing whatever was supposed to be there under existing consents.
Once they get consent, call in the pikeys

Doesn't it count as a temporary structure, so subject to different rules (like the grandstands at Brands are/were)?

The grandstand at Brands that I remember was a substantial building with the timekeepers' box and CotC's office in it - the scaffold jobs at Silverstone on the other hand were certainly of temporary standard, though they weren't moved for decades.
