Re: New Shelby GT40's

Here we go again. Safir is not Ford, so how can it make or authorise "continuation" GT40s as if they are the genuine article, although I accept that they have bought and have the legal right to do so. IMHO they are just replicas, albeit very accurate ones. SPF states that their cars are 90% as per the originals. That leaves 10% which differs, no doubt in the engine and brakes departments which makes them better cars than the originals but not exact replicas. As I have said before, IMO the only genuine GT40s were built by FAV or their American partners in the '60s.
