Hi all,
As a new owner (my GT40 was delivered on Friday afternoon) I thought I’d introduce myself, and my car.
I’ve dreamt about owning a GT40 since I was 13 years old, after getting a 1:18 scale Bburago model in Gulf livery as a toy. I still have it to this day, some 29 years later.
I’ve been casually looking for about 5 years, whilst saving up, and the search got serious about 18 months ago. With a modest budget, most of the cars I could afford were a bit scruffy, or in a colour scheme I didn’t fancy, and as is usully the case, the stuff I loved was way out of my budget!
My dream finally became a reality four days ago when I took delivery of a gorgeous blue with silver stripe GTD. Built in 1995, with just 2000 miles on, it’s as clean as a whistle, as you’d expect with such low mileage. It’s got a Ford 302ci motor, Edelbrock manifold with Holley 600cfm vacuum carb, Renault UN1 gearbox, Alcon brakes, fully adjustable Spax coilover suspension and 1967 period number plate.
The fit and finish are great, and as it’s only had two owners, one being the person who built it, I’d love to try and get hold of their details and talk to them about their build of the car.
I managed to get out in it for an hour or so on Saturday afternoon, but it’s been raining ever since! I’ll put some more photos up when the rain stops and I get it out of the garage.
Cheers.
