Just bought a GT40 replica

I have just got a GT40 replica (swapped it for a Ferrari 308 GTSi QV - which I think was quite wise to be honest). It was recently for sale on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=29755&item=4541337754&rd=1). I am in Hampshire in the UK and I was wondering where every(any)one meets with these cars????

Best Regards

John

The Hants/Berks/Oxon region of the GT40 Enthusiasts Club meets at the Bullington Cross Inn, at the junction of the A303 and A34, at 7.30 on the 3rd Tuesday of the month.
You will be very welcome on 17 May, particularly if you bring your car.
There will also be a considerable presence at the K*T C*r Show at Stoneleigh on Sunday 1 May ONLY; last year there were 37 GT40s. We meet up at the Cherwell Services near J10 on the M40 at 0800 for breakfast, then arrive in strength. (Follow the car in front - it's also the only way I know to get there!).

John,

Nice one. The car seems to have a fairly high mileage. That's not a bad thing with these cars, its means it's been used and any bugs/problems will have been long since ironed out.
have fun

The car was rebuilt in 2001 and currently has 15000 miles from the rebuild but it has 45000 miles from when it was made in South Africa

 

Forgot to say - I didn't pay any cash for the vehicle at all, my fiancé swapped her Ferrari 308 GTSi QV for the car (she wanted the GT40 instead of the Ferrari). I paid £26K for the Ferrari but was getting offers around £22K mark so I guess I kind of paid £25K (what the Ferrari is worth really) which seems fair I suppose as the GT40 has a decent spec with the 5.8 Ford V8 and the engine mods (still needs a little bit of cosmetic upgrades in my opinion though).

"my fiancé swapped her Ferrari 308 GTSi QV for the car""

that's a good deal, it's quite a bit less for repairs and service work for the GT40 compared to a Ferrari.
