Hi For the Le Mans 24 hours week a number of meetings and shows are now being organised. One such event is the meeting at Arnage. This will take place on the Thursday 11th June 2015. I will be marshalling for the practise of the 24 hours on that day, so will not be able to take my GT40. The...

Hi Not really a specific GT40 event but if you are in the Le Mans area on either the 11th or 12th April 2015, there is a show at the Parc des Expositions, which is just opposite the circuit. Its a classic car show. This year, one of the guys from the local area is doing a stand as a tribute to...

Hi Just a few photos from the monthly meeting of our car club in La Sarthe, France. This month we were at a small village to the west of Le Mans called St Georges de Bois. The car park in the local Super U supermarket was laid on for everyone. We also had coffee and rillettes. Wonderful stuff...

Hi Took the Gt40 to our Club meeting the other weekend near Le Mans at a place called Champagné. It was the place where Jean Rondeau (Le Mans 1980) had his factory, and he was also killed near here, trying to run a level crossing. They've named a gymnasium after him. Someone took these photos...

Hi Took this photo of a nice T70 whilst Marshalling at Le Mans Bugatti circuit over the weekend, for the V de V Endurance Series. Presume its original, but don't know anything about it. Very quite ?? Unfortunately someone was standing in front of it which obscures the view a bit. Stephen

I found this in a 1970's book I recently acquired. Unfortunately the image goes across pages, otherwise it would be a wonderful side view picture of a GT40. Not too sure whether they've got their facts right regarding the amount Ford spent. Stephen

Hi Just come back from seeing the Tour Auto reach Le Mans. Didn't have chance to stay and see them on the track. Hope the link to the photos works. Flickr: StephenTonks' Photostream Stephen

Hi Some guys here in France are trying to get a new website / tv channel off the ground. I recently met one of the chaps at our car club meeting in a local village. He then contacted me and they have done a video of my GT40. Go onto HOTROAD TV and have a look under the video section. I think...

Hi Is there a problem uploading photos ? I used to be able to do it without any problem. Now just tells me there was an error uploading the file or files. Any ideas. Stephen :huh:

Hi A few months ago I joined a local car club here in La Sarthe, called CAP72 (Club Auto Passion), 72 being the department number. They have welcomed me with open arms. Every month there is an expedition to one of the villages in the region. This month, it was La Chatre Sur Loir. In a couple of...

Hi Not too sure whether this belongs under this section, but it is to do with an engine. What to do with your old block that powered you round Le Mans for the GT40 Enthusiasts Club time at the Classic of 2010. One of the cylinders now has a crack in it, due to the thread dropping off my holley...

Hi Here's a couple of shots of my Dax GT40 and a few others. Went to the above show over the weekend. Unexpected honour to win the category - Best Sportscar ! Wow :thumbsup: Some nice machinery there. Stephen

Hi Found this web page with some really nice shots of my car. Thankfully taken before the rain came. The Car Addict: Spotted: DAX FORD GT 40 REPLICA - more than just another AutoBlog Regards Stephen

Hi For some reason, don't quite know why, I can't enter a response to the recent message from Andy Sheldon at Tornado, about the expansion of his business. I would just like to say congratulations to Andy. Given the economic climates he has steered his company through over almost the last 30...

Hi Does anyone have any photos, links or general information on developing throttle linkages for a holley on a ford 347 ci. engine ? I have a cable which goes from the pedal right to carb., which is OK, but I think if could be improved upon as I think it tends to stick a bit. I have had a look...

Hi Not sure if this is right area, but its to do with the engine in my Dax GT40. I attach a photo of what the little bit of thread did when it came loose on my Holley Carb and dropped into the engine. We were cruising on the A28 in late autumn (fall), not far from my home near Le Mans. We...

Hi First off, my apologies if this has been suggested before, but I was wondering what the interest may be in a section devoted to the replica cars themselves ? i.e. A section detailing the car, some photographs and any relevent information that owners may feel they want to share with us. Many...

Hi All I am in the process of moving to France from the UK. My Dax GT40 is registered and insured in the UK. When I move to France I did want to keep the UK plate on it. I have been informed by my UK insurer that they will not be able to insure the car, if it is to be kept in France. Does...

Hi As the Le Mans Classic draws ever nearer, I am hopeful that all the preparation I have put into my car will benefit the expedition to La Sarthe. The vast amount of mechanical preparatory work is now drawing to a close. From all the development mileage I have undertaken, the current list of...
