CAV Production Milestone

CAV GT Production Milestone

In the 60’s Ford officially produced one hundred and thirty-three GT40 chassis.

This production total actually makes for interesting reading as there is some uncertainty surrounding the official numbers, with some chassis apparently having two numbers and other cars not accounted for. The list published in Ronnie Spain’s book, GT40: An Individual History and Race Record, is widely regarded as being the most accurate. For the purpose of comparison, we will stick with 133 as the total number of original chassis having been produced.

Auto Futura recently matched this original production figure when chassis #133 rolled off the production line, making our company the most prolific manufacturer of the GT40 recreations - world wide.
Production and sales continue to go from strength to strength. With the recent formation of another distributor network, known as CAV Europe; the launch of the CAV GTR (race car) and the announcement that a CAV GT will once again be the pace car for the Motor Racing Legends Series at Le Mans 2007, demand for the CAV GT is strong.

To commemorate this production milestone, Auto Futura is offering a never to be repeated 10% discount on the next five cars ordered.

This offer is valid on turn-key, rolling chassis or component programs. In order to take advantage of this special offer, please contact Auto Futura on jean@cavgt.co.za or +27 21 702 3085

Don’t lose out on this opportunity to own a piece of motor racing nostalgia!

Please see picture below of CAV GTR and CAV GT Road car.

Morning Randy
#133 is the CAV GTR in red at the top of the page, and the car to be Pace car at the 2007 MRL series, Le Mans.
The discount applies to next 5 cars ordered as of date of posting. We are currently busy with #141.
Best regards
Jean

Jean,

Congratulations John, Jean,

A tremendous accomplishment in producing more rolling chassis than all others to date!

If I can do a little more flag waiving, the upgrades and other improvements brought forward since Autofutura took over production was no doubt also a huge task and well worth the effort.

Look forward to more CAV GTs coming to Canada in the near future, we may only get a few a hours of sunlight a year, but we love our Supercars!

Cheers

Joking on the weather of course, it's beautifull here

Congratulations on your milestone!

Do you sell just parts?

I'm interested in the air-dam/Splitter on the red car... Maybe other components..

Thank you

My thoughts also, the air dam looks like it could be an addition to my car.

Hey! I had to see if the discount applied to 134 ,that is ,I think its my car, Black MK1 no stripes. Roy said it should be on the boat soon. I am very excited.
Congratulation on your mile stone, Keep up the good work.

Congratulations to all at CAV!
The quality of the car speaks for its self, And I wish you all at CAV continued success in the years to come!!

Hi Randy
The CAV GTR is a bit of a beast. She is aprox 100kg lighter, zero interior with bucket seats, roll cage and harnesses. The front suspension is fully rose jointed and she has a set of slicks to help with grip. The air-dam forces the nose down at speed, and needless to say, her belly is very low. To stop we have added the 6 pot calipers. She is fantastic round the track and well worth the effort!
Will send some pics later.

Big-Foot · 05-19-07, 09:19 AM

Randy - I just spent the better part of an hour on the Blastolene website and I am in total awe....

I noticed that there appears to be an extension of the mono frame behind the front tire on the red car that I do not believe my car has. Is this to keep debris out of the door jam area? I have thought of placing some stiff rubber sheeting in this area as it allows all sorts of debris to accumulate in the jam area as well as water from tire splash since ther is a good gap between the front clip and the mono.
