Re: Why are there two P1009\'s ??
Hi Rob,
I'm confused about all the stories about chassis duplication, rip offs and now the Sbarro story. Hell, will it ever stop. Men often accuse their grannies, mothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, etc, of intrigue mongering and gossiping but when the ladies retaliate and say that men often behave like overgrown schoolboys, at the risk of letting the side down, I have to agree. Also when the ladies say that they don't start wars, shoot people, drop atom bombs or swop chassis plates, oh dear, I have to agree again! Here endeth the lesson!
The genuine case of the crashed GT40 with parts removed into a rebuilt car and chassis number transferred was told to me by someone who knows the story. It is indeed a tricky situation - to whom does the original number legally belong? It has nothing to do with the new Superformance car. Jimmy bought the FAV drawings and MK11 body panels from a friend in the US and as the saying goes the body panels suffered from the ravages of time. A great deal of time and money has been spent on straightening, reshaping and filling the body sections to prepare them for mould making.
Jimmy is currently in the UK and when he returns I'll ask him about the deal. I'm sure there are no secrets.
Hersh, you speak of senior moments.Welcome to the Club! But isn't it interesting how we can remember events, chapter and verse, that happened 40 years ago but can't remember a damn thing a month ago!
My head is spinning!
