I've been lurking on these forums for a little while, thought it was time I registered.
I'm pondering building a GT40 over the next couple of years as my new car - I've not grown up with V8's but do have a hankering to own one.
I'm a BMW nut, and my current car has had quite a bit of work done 'improving' it - including the supercharger that went on 4 years ago. This now creates a problem - I've had the car 7 years, thoroughly enjoy it, but it has more poke than a stock M3. If I want a nimble BMW V8, it would be the new M3, and that's a fair bit of coin to waste on a depreciating asset. I'm handy enough to get myself in a whole mess of trouble, hence pondering something which is such a classic, and not at all common on the street - heck, it might actually hold some value!
I've also heard tell that there is a green GT40 living near Canberra which turns up at 'Marques in the Park' - if anybody knows the owner, would it be possible to put them in contact with me? - it would be great to see a real live GT40.
