Hi guys ! I am new to this forum, but have been studying it for a while, so firstly many thanks for giving me so much reading material.

I have always wanted a replica or kit car, but when I first got bitten by the bug some 25 years ago, the quality of the kits appeared to be quite poor, and most stood out like a sore thumb when on the road. My other great love was the GT40, but probably like most people, owning a real one, was a dream that unlikley to happen.

It was a few weeks ago when I saw and article on the CAV GT40 and then a Discovery Program called Dream Machines, where they appeared to be putting one together. Well that sparked the interest again and I was delighted to see that the quality appears to have increased considerably.

So here I am, money in hand, (don't tell the wife) and ready to commit to a long held dream. I have read all I can find and for one reason or another have settled on the CAV GT40. I could ask everyone for their recommendation, but I am sure the response would be equally good and bad for all of the leading brands, and somewhat biased as most people will have only built one make I assume.

So here is where I need your help.

• Is the CAV GT40 a good choice?
• What does the CAV GT40 need done to it to get it through the UK SVA test?
• What mod’s are suggested, that while not a requirement of the SVA, are a significant improvement in the standard kit
• Is there anyone in the UK, preferably Scotland, who as made one and would not object to me paying a visit and asking many questions.
• Are there any articles, web sites, or forum messages that give more detailed build info on the CAV GT40.

Thanks for your help.
