Geoff Moss of MPH MOTOR PANELS gives me a lesson in wheeling a Lotus 11 panel.  This lesson will be really helpful for those who want to learn advanced English wheel techniques because you've got the classic high crown sitting next to a low reverse.  Geoff emphasizes the need for 1) Low pressure 2) a balanced raising of the crown and lowering of the reverse 3) narrow tracking pattern for a smoother finish 4) anticipating what will happen NEXT (thinking several steps ahead).
I took Geoff's class in Liskeard, Cornwall, England in mid-Novermber, 2012, and learned much from it in a short time.  He's been wheeling for over four decades, and began helping his father make panels for early Lotus', Vanwalls, Lolas, and many more.  You can find out about arranging a class that fits into your schedule by contacting him at: www.mphmotorpanels.com
