Title: Bill's GT40 Post by: Manky Monkey on September 27, 2008, 09:59:04 PM Taz & I have been in Basingstoke today, photographing a couple of motors for you lot to look at on the website soon. First up was Bill & his gorgeous 5 litre V8 LeMans GT40 replica. A stunning looking machine. Possibly the most uncomfortable car I've ever travelled in, but worth it just for the howl of that exhaust & the way the traffic parts to let you through. Full write-up in the Motors, 4 wheels section of the main site soon.
Oh, & it's up for sale to fund his sprint car racing career if you fancy it for doing the shopping in. Yours for 30 grand or so. Title: Re: Bill's GT40 Post by: Manky Monkey on September 27, 2008, 10:00:11 PM .

Title: Re: Bill's GT40 Post by: morrag on October 04, 2008, 05:41:34 PM Over 25 years ago I accompanied a friend,and at that time Ford engineer to a small works showroom that held not only the original Jacky Ickx, Gulf GT40, but alongside the only GT70.somehow or other ha had obtained permission to make a "plug" of the GT40, as up until then there had been no replicas, as far as I am aware. All subsequent reps. came from this one orig. "plug", so there you go,"I was there!" as Max Boyce would say! nostalgia or what! Morrag

Max Boyce? Now there's a name I haven't heard for many a year. Taz & I are on holiday tomorrow, so will sit on the GT write-up till we get back in a week or two. Look out for it then. |
