Hi folks,
I'm new to the forum here; having registered to ask this question. I'm based in N.Ireland, UK. I'm a long time GT40 lover; been my dream car for years. Someday I'll get one, and I've discovered one that I'm interested in, but am cautious. Looking for some advice.
The car, I believe, is a KVA Mk1 with the early chassis. Big Granada uprights and big turrets on the chassis for the springs/dampers. It's not a particularly pretty chassis on those early cars.
Rover V8 on Renault gearbox. Registered on a Q plate. It's been completed and used on the road, but has been lying unused for a while. It would take a real good going over to get it properly recommissioned, but I don't believe there are any fundamental faults with it.
It's real hard to value GT40s I find as they vary so much depending on the kit and construction. What would a fair price be for such a vehicle? I appreciate it all depends on the buyer and it's hard to value something unseen, but just a general idea would be the ticket.
Are we talking £5-10k? £10-20k or £20k upwards?
I don't often see the KVA with the early chassis up for sale, so not sure what money they make in comparison to others. Would be very grateful for your experienced opinions. My heart is saying something different to my head on this one!
