We had a night at the drive-ins with GT40s, Cobras, Mustangs and 1 Ferrari. One of the more memorable events I have participated in.
Watching the movie whilst seated in the GT40 wasn't actually to bad at all.
I just have to clean the popcorn out that my daughter dropped during the film...lol
The drive-ins event in Melbourne is going to be attended by 2 Cobra Clubs, the Vic Ferrari Club and the GT40 Car Club as per the attached flyer. Apparently as at the time of writing this there are only 33 tickets left out of 140.
Looking forward to it.

I'm planning on advertising via our club facebook page here in Melbourne Australia to get a bunch of cars to a drive-in.
Reclined seating should be quite comfortable. Not sure what to do about the lack of radio in the car..... Minor problems really.
One of our club guys has a 944 in his GT40. I recall him saying it was quite tricky however the box itself is very strong with better ratios than an 016 Audi. I could find out a bit more if you are interested.
I have an O1E and a 302Windsor in my car, adaptor supplied by RF. As this is a common option I'm sure that there are many suppliers that can help.
Cheers

Hey Pete, sorry to see you sell your beautiful car. I actually haven't posted on here for many years but when I saw your car advertised on carsales, I had to check in here yo see if it was for real. Great to hear you're well. All the best with downsizing!
Cheers mate.

Hey Ron, awesome car & well done on connecting the previous owner!
If you would like to connect with local GT40 enthusiasts, send me a PM. It's a great excuse to take that beauty of yours out for a drive with like minded individuals.
Cheers

Hi JR
My question re RHD was because there were no RHD Eclipses made. There was a Mitsubishi FTO in Australia which by all acounts was similar to the Eclipse, but I don't know whether this is infact the same car under the skin & therefore useable or if there is no way that RHD can be done...
