Re: Pictures from the Dark Side

I contemplated a P4 replica before plumping for the GT40. Glad I did, but it's nice to see these replicas. A good period looking car is always a joy to see, especially next to other classic 60's machinery. Thanks for posting.
Cheers,

Martin

Agreed on both counts, the pipes might be stainless though, in which case not so lean.

Re: Pictures from the Dark Side

Anybody know what kind of transaxle that is?

Nice looking cars. I'd change the wheels however - neither has wheels that look anywhere close to the originals (crommodora I believe).

Re: Pictures from the Dark Side

I think they are 'Forman' p330 replicas, supposidly not in production now although I believe they have a few chassis still in the 'cut metal' stage waiting to be welded up. Also the whole 'business' is up for sale see here....

NF Auto Development - Foreman Mk4

After ringing them a year or two ago they said they make more money with the parts business... NF Auto.

A nice replica although the roof is a few inches higher than original apparently to accomodate the taller driver.

Not sure if this is a NF Auto car.... if it was me I would have stopped as soon as I saw the sparks!!!!!
