No it's not 1012, this is:

I think there are two GT40/P1012 MKII's. Worth waiting for Ronnies book next year!

What's the chassis number of the MK II from the Dan Gurney parade?

The Alan Mann GT40, I think is the SPF replica?

Hey, I see me !
That was an SPF ?

 

[Allan Feldman]

I saw the Alan Mann GT40 lightweight replica being sold at the Racing car show at the NEC in Jan/Feb this year. It was a standard Mk1 painted in Alan mann colours with two MKII snorkels on the rear clip. The car at the Revival had the proper modified doors and rear clip and scoops. It was not the same car that Alan Mann commissioned recently.
The MKII that was at the Revival is 1012 one of two cars with that chassis number.

The car sold earlier this year at Autosport was a Superformance http://www.gt40s.com/forum/world-ma...6249-alan-manns-superformance-p2147-sale.html and logically is the one now at Oakfields as well as probably being the one at Goodwood

 

[Frank Catt]

This is the same car

 

[Mike]

This is the Alan Man Superformance GT40 at my works prior to delivery to him.

Curious, what is meant by "Offset rear body check"?

 

[Frank Catt]

Michael, from the factory the left hand side rear wheel visually sat very wrong in relation to the body, reason found was camber and suspension not correctly adjusted, this was corrected before delivery.

 

[Mike]

Thank you Frank. It is nice that you apply that level of attention to detail in your delivery process.

 

[Rich E.]

Frank,

In the pic it looks that the Alan Mann car was fuel injected. Can you confirm? If yes what were your impressions?

TIA
Rich.

 

A couple of weeks after Goodwood, I stumbled across the MkIII being photographed for an upcoming Octane cover feature. Here is the owner, restorer, journo and photographer.


MkIII GT40


I must admit that I didn't know much about the MkIII cars, so the details such as the hinged front "bonnet" and large luggage compartment in the engine bay were a surprise.

Beautiful car!
