Re: Real GT40s End Where?

This section is for the "originals". Originals were built in the 60's. The tubs for P1085-P1089 were probably built in the 60's. But the finished cars were done way after that time period. Therefore, they should be in some other section. Period.

If someone can produce evidence that the cars were completed in the 60's, they should be in this section......but I do not think that is going to happen.

The HM cars are cars built way after the 60's. Lee may have had the idea back in the 60's (questionable), but he did not complete the cars in the 60's. Kind if think what age Lee would have been in the 60's. Clue that into the equation, and I do not see how the HM cars can be included here either.

The MkIII "road cars" should be in this group, because they were built and completed in the 60's, except for the ones in Spains book that list the chassis number as a tub only. These "tub only" cars are in the same boat as the HM and 1085-1089 cars.

Cheers,......and may the slinging begin.........
