| Re: New Shelby GT40's Just to explain a little further why I think the the "continuation" cars may risk being "passed off" as ''original" I quote part of an advertisement in Motor Sport Magazine.
"now come the definitive recreations of the legendary Le Mans winning GT40s of 1966 to 1969. Such is their degree of precision and Authenticity, that over 90% of all the component parts are interchangeable with the original 1960's cars', including the entire 'monocoque' pressed steel chassis and roof sections; in addition, chassis numbering continues from the original production run (GT40P 2000 Series), the cars are titled and badged as 'GT40's and each is listed in the S.A.A.C. World registry."
Not saying anything other than the cars are re-creations but fast forward a few years and the cars are in the hands of a less than ethical dealer. Talking to a less than knowledgeable buyer?
