Gentlemen (& perhaps ladies?),
Good day. I am a long term GT40 fan who is inching towards vehiclehood. However first I must complete the restoration of my 2 Lotii & gain the agreement of she who must be obeyed. I actually own a Lotus Europa explicitly because I would like a GT40 & can't (couldn't)afford one.
My medium term plan is to watch the forum & go after someone's uncompleted build in about 18-24 months. Bizarrely I live a couple of miles from where GTD's were built & I was a friend of the man who built the chassis which reignited my interest. So far I've only had a passenger ride in a GTD, which was impressive, but demonstrated I need a Gurney Bubble to be comfy.
Apart from this post I do not feel qualified to post regularly, so as my title suggested I will be lurking for a while.
