What's the story with this chassis?

somebody probably increased their disposable cash income when that chassis was supposedly disposed of-are there more out there?
I know of one original chassis in the uk which has a new tub numbered the same in the states, although the original is slowly being rebuilt and will surface again in 2004

Roy : which is the original !

Marco : the main change from the last time it was for sale is it now has FIA papers - how ?

Not to hard to convince a not to well read official about autenthisity or orginality i guess...
There are several replicas racing as historic racers, around the globe...

There are several "air cars" out there and more or less replicas..
Several using the same "numbers"
Several people telling a lot of crap.
There are a lot of both air cars and air talkers out there...
Greed and etc....
Not to be too negative, but the world is not perfect !
But the main part is consistant of honest cars and honest people...

I wonder if they really have FIA papers or is this BS as well.

Think it is both the cars advertised earlier.
The "MkIV" and the GT40 MkI("GT111") replicas...
Roadster P111 crashed at Targa -65.
Stripped at FAV.
Remains left outside.
Vanished due to a cleanup..
Nothing known since...
Most likely scrapped and destroyed at the same time.
Positively.
But i was not there at the time..
But as nothing heard since, and the facts speak against any chassis survived...
Should be end of that chassis story.
But all parts were removed...
Belgian car advertised earlier might well be the same as being advertised now, also that it was a replica trying to be GT111. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
