Ben, thanks didn't know #1030 had been in Australia. Classic Cars have a chassis number list with a blank entry for #1030. Classic Cars GT40 Listing Link

Just realised that inspiration for modern GT40 was old chassis number #1030, amazing. Check this link for information.

I was talking about GT40's currently in Aus. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Even #1034 had been in Aus before. George Parlby brought it back to Australia in mid 70's, it was sold to US buyer in late 80's. I'm guessing that would have been one of the things that made #1034 attractive to David Bowden to buy, the import duty had already been paid. Imagine the import duty on the rumoured 1.2million purchase price. Then again maybe it didn't even cross his mind. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
