GT40 wanted

[BarryD]

Great site ! Thanks.
Long story, but the GT40s changed my life at Le Mans in '65.
Been racing lunatic historic Morgans since 1970.
Had a Brian Pepper GTD40 1994-97.
Seriously in the market for a very good GT40 so I can do a bit of competition "indoors".
Not in a rush because, as stated, I will wait for the best.
Would consider having one turnkey.
I sure am glad I found this site though.
Thanks again.

Welcome, Barry. I don't think you'll have to wait too long because there seems to be a pretty good turnover of good GT40 replica cars, especially on that little island you live on. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hi Barry,
Where are you in Bucks? There is quite a GTD40 enclave in the High Wycombe/Marlow/Henley area.
Send me an e-mail.

Mark,
It may be little but it's still GREAT... and I'm talking about the islands where I live. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Barry, I always thought that things on three legs were more stable than those on four, but you picture looks wild.

good on you Barry. Very nice! I am considering a similar colour scheme, red with silver "gulf" stripes. Could i trouble you to post a couple of side & rear photos? It would help with my decision.

Barry,
I know this car's history from Frank and the previous owner's passion to get the best GTD40 for track purposes.
You could not have a better deal.
Congrats

From TimOz40:
"good on you Barry. Very nice! I am considering a similar colour scheme, red with silver "gulf" stripes."

Red with gold stripes is the Alan Mann Racing team colors. The scheme was used on Ford Cortinas, Escorts, GT40s, and the F3L.

That 3-wheeler Morgan looks like a bathtub full of laughs. I wonder if the Grinnall Scorpion handles on 2 of it's 3 wheels at the limit hehe.
