Hi All,
At the end of January, Tiff Needell , who heads op Channel Five’s Fifth Gear TV programme arrived in Cape Town with his camera crew to film the Superformance GT40 MK11 at the Killarney race track and along coastal scenic routes.
I’ve just phoned the UK and they will let me know on Monday when the programme will be screened. When I get the date I’ll post.
Having witnessed the development of the monocoque car from day one in early 2002 in Cape Town until August 2004 when the whole project was uplifted and taken to Hi-Tech Automotive in Port Elizabeth I had never seen a completed car until I arrived at the circuit. All I can say is STUNNING! Stroked 402 engine, ZF gearbox, 15 ins Halibrands and Jimmy’s right to use the GT40 title. Chassis numbers to continue from the last car produced which means that the car is more a ‘continuation’ car as opposed to a ‘replica.’
IMHO it’s just got to be the best ever GT40.
I suggested to Tiff that he pats his hair down so that he can fit in under the Gurney bubble!!
Enjoy,
André 40
