Hi new member here.
I am a Brit now living in Germany, with a life long interest to build or own a GT40.
I work in automotive design, but started out as a body design engineer. As part of my apprenticeship back in the late 80s I was given a task to build a 2D full layout of the body frame. The original body panels were often reworked by hand to fit together, we had prints of the original drawings, my task was to identify the mistakes and produce new drawings. At the time I had access to the GT40 owners club at Worley, Ford, and was given a ride in an original. As a 18 year old lad this left a lasting impression, and a dream to build a replica.
Fast forward 40 years and living in Germany, the possibility to build a replica is almost impossible .
Interested to hear of any like minded individuals in NRW, or indeed selling a GT40 replica
