| Re: Real GT40s End Where?
I'm not sure why we're arguing whether a Mk4 or a Mirage or an Allan Mann lightweight is a GT40. They are all from the same era and all had origins in Fords racing programme and all had essentially Mk1 or Mk2 mechanicals. The aluminium honeycomb was an attempt to save weight. Natural evolution in a race car! The reshaped bodywork of the Mirages and the Mk4's was to take advantage of regulations allowing smaller cockpit sizes etc. If this had not happened the Mk4s may have retained the Mk2 shape? What then?
Who cares, let's just enjoy the cars. |
