Tony,
As someone who owns a GT40 replica, how would you rate the handling / driving experience? Is it how you expected it, better or worse? My mechanical experience is slightly lacking (I've helped out on a mini restoration but that's about it) and I'm concious of investing several years (and a lot of money) in building a kit only to be disappointed.

Also, what is the inside space like for tall people? I know you can get bubble roofs (it looks like your car may have one in the picture) and chassis with the seating area lowered, but are they suitable for people over 6ft tall?
