Have to say I'd be happy with any of those cars already put forward! However, for what it's worth my choices are: 1.) Penske/ Kirk F. White Ferrari 512 (driven by the great Mark Donohue) 2.) Ferrari 330 P3 (or P4 - I'm not fussed) 3.) Aston Martin DP214. Realistically, I'll stick with...

Maybe I am missing something, but surely isn't this a T160 with a Mark I or II T70 (single headlamp) body fitted? As I understand it, the Mark IIIB GT chassis number sequences start SL76/.... so I am not quite sure how it comes to be referred to as a Mark IIIB. Of course a T160 Can-Am car...

Morning all, I am a new member to this forum, and wonder if I could pick your collective brains please? I am interested in building a totally accurate '65 spec Mark 1 GT40 for historic racing in the U.K and Europe, and wonder if any of you can offer advice as to which are the best "base"...

Interesting to hear about the EBay scam - I emailed a guy last week about a 63 Split Screen Corvette (admittedly a restoration project) for £1,800 and got exactly the same story! Funnily enough, he got quite shirty when I said that I wouldn't part with a penny without looking at it.... Even...
