Barn find?

Not an FAV car, look at the area where the rear lower trailing arm enters the tub. I have never seen an FAV/Abbey/Tenant chassis with a riveted on finish to the opening.

I think Pedro's right. Any idea which one this is? I can't tell how long ago this happened, and all the rest of the stuff seems to be parts list and prices for them in DMs, which they haven't used for a while- they are on Euros now- so how old would this be?

If you go to the bottom of the page and jump ahead a few pages there are some gt40 parts pages, what looks like a gt40 history and several race reports with
Jean Blaton 'Beurlys' and P1041 outlined.
Now I am fairly sure this is not P1041, can any of our German speaking friends let us know what this is all about?

The certificate is dated 1998
It says that it is 1966 car. After a crash in 1970 the steelchassis was replaced by an aluminium chassis from abbey panel, supposedly No 004 ( thats written there, so the more knowledgable will know if this can be true or not)

ZF DS 25/2 serialnumber 12078.

I thought this sounded familiar; parts of this history are mentioned in the SAAC registry, but there is no final confirmation as to whether this is actually 1041. There is another car constructed on a Tennant chassis (not, I believe, an aluminum one- is there such a thing at all as an aluminum Tennant chassis?) which is "sometimes referred to as 1041"- I suspect that car is not 1041. Why it is called that I don't know.
In the photo of the front with the clip on you can see a large rubber plug covering one of the two round holes on the tub, Safir (Mk Vs) used these and they even had "GT40" moulded on them. Also the front uprights look like Safir style units, they do not have the round boss that the tie rod ends go into like an FAV upright.
And the brakes are AP Racing sytle like safir used.

Tom,
Thanks for the translation. It's interesting and curious at the same time.

I can promise you theres not 1 part on that car from 1041
Al, have you noticed that you're getting to look a lot like your dog lately?
sharp...scary...no number 48 for me then.
Of course we believe you but why do you say this? You do have a lot of insider info to share.
Doesn't take any insider info.
It is a matter of public record on this site that the 'long lost' genuine 1041 is resident in Alice Springs. See this thread here http://www.gt40s.com/forum/original-gt40s/13149-wanted-1966-alan-mann-gt40-racecar-photos.html
Further to the information in the link, I believe Ron's car is now repaired and up and running. He visits this site quite a bit and as recently as yesterday, but only posts occasionally these days, and nothing in over a year.
