Hi Simon,
Thanks for that. I think I would really like one with a Ford engine from what I have read up to now, although I am liable to change my mind! I'ts early days yet and I'll have to get around to selling my other car. I also want to drop in on a couple of meetings to chat to you all to find out a bit more about the ownership of a 40

It all comes down to your budget and how much work you want to put in to it.
I seriously considered this one but being 6'3" and too heavy I find the GTD tight on space. I found a DAX still in the making and got that instead but do not expect it to be on the road for less than this one. It too has a Rover mill.
So you get this car - it is already road registered so you do not need to do the SVA route. It still needs painting so you get your choice of colours, it then could be on the road pretty quickly. Then as time and or cash allows you upgrade the brakes, swop the engine and it doesn't have to be a new one and still no SVA.
Just my thoughts. (After my engine has done some work I also think I would look at swopping for a Ford unit
