I don't own a GT40, but I have to agree with Richard. There were only a set number of GT40s that were built and raced back in the 1960s. Anything built since then, call them "continuations" or "replicas" are still not the original cars - it doesn't what a manufacturer calls them.

What I want to know is why couldn't I order a vehicle from Superformance, have it painted to my favorite Lemans car specs and not have to pay the mark-up that is surely being charged for something with Carrol Shelby's name on it???
