Re: SPF MKII Ownership



Beautiful
car.


And thanks for the report. For most of us this car will be a very major expenditure and we are anxious for any reports on the item as received.


Which brings up questions, that I may respectively ask:

Why was this necessary? Is not that a stock option? Or was it before the manufacturer acquired the rights to the GT40 name from Safir?

Why the left-hand shift, and not the center console shift?

What cam did Olthoff specify, and why?

On the basis of what criteria did they spec the gearing?

Why are you electing to not use the supplied outside mirrors?


Thanks in advance for the time and trouble, and keep us posted on how it runs.

. . . . . and do enjoy your new item in the mean. (As we know you will.)
