Simply amazing work John...
Are you considering marketing any components?
Latches perhaps??

Re: Classis Car Developments (Dave Brown) Chassis
This is fantastic! Does it mean that now GT40 fans can make their own cars starting from the ground up with the monocoque bodyshell?

Re: Classis Car Developments (Dave Brown) Chassis
You Kiwis are an amazing lot! Seems you boys can make just about anything..... fantastic stuff.

John Britten (Kiwi) will always be one of my heros. On my only trip to Daytona to run the 200 - John was pitted in the gararge right across from me, I had a lousy race but 6 Brittens lined up across the way almost made up for it ....... and then there was his wife. Bonus points :-) I should'a just stayed in the garages that weekend.

I like your car a lot John.

Looking at the mufflers I am guessing it will have a bark to it.

Incidentally, David Brown isn't the first technical maestro from Invercargill - that's also where Burt Munro of "The Fastest Indian" fame was from. Amazing.

Nick, John had a mono for sale. Could be worth checking. Last I heard he still had it. chassis

BTW Cliff, got any idea where Gore is? It's just a stones throw up the road from Invercargill. (It is said that Invercargill is the arsehole of NZ and Gore is 40 miles up it!!) Guess who comes from Gore? Another technical maestro that frequents this forum.

There is also at least one other member of this forum doing absolutely stunning engineering and fabrication work in Invercargill. NZ's southernmost city. There must be something in the water......like ice!!!!

John,
You need to market that pedal box. I like the side pull on the throttle as it's like the origionals and the dead pedal foot rest is genius.
