AKA The Mad Hat Man
Is it just me - or is there an underlying snobbery within the GT40 community?
Being the lucky owner of a replica, I am sick and tired of being told by "experts" that "it is a nice car - but you know it's the wrong shade of red" or "why is the oil cooler in the wrong place". I know my car isn't an original (how many are) but I DONT CARE! I am just pleased with owning a beautiful looking car which doesn't look dated after 40 years and IMHO defined the look of modern GT cars - look at the similarity of the Maclaren F1 or the XJ220 to the GT40 basic design.
So PLEASE - you guys (and gals) out there - just enjoy the car for what it is - not what it isnt!
