Re: New Shelby GT40's

Hi Mike

I didn't mean to suggest that everyone who buys a continuation GT40 replica is gullible, just that some manufacturers seem to be attaching a premium to the price because the word "continuation" is involved and some buyers might think they are getting more than they actually are IMHO. Your SPF doesn't appear to fall into this category. Anyway, if it makes some people happy that they have a "continuation" GT40 and they can afford it, why not? I just feel that the only genuine "continuation" GT40 should be made by Ford, using the original jigs and tooling, etc. Everything else is just a replica, with some being very close to the originals in construction and some not so close, but they all look pretty much the same until the bodywork is removed.

Long may you enjoy your SPF.

Chris
