I have been asked about my purchase of an RF GT40 (Dec 2008). As i don't have enough posts for a private reply I will do so by the Forum.
I visited RF during it open day early last year to check out their new premises. they turned out to be very professional in their approach to producing and supplying GT kit parts.
I returned later (June) to have another look (again with familiy in tow) and decided to put my name down for a Mk1 chassis/body etc. On returning home (South Aust) I paid a $5000 deposit which got the ball rolling. I indicated that I was not too fussed about the delivery date and I would let them know later in the year.
In Nov I contacted RF about the kit to which they said they could deliver before Xmas-Great!!
A few weeks later Paul rang with some good news. A chassis with a fitted body had become available immediately in the chassis colour I wanted!
Transport was arranged by 6 metre Container ($3000!!). As the container had quite a lot of room available I bought all the glass and the fuel tanks as these were quite fragile.
All items were carefully packed and delivered on the 17th of December last.
The entire excercise came to about $38000.
This may seem costly but the body fitment ($3000) was well worth it saving me many many hours of work. Especially as the final fit up is very good.
Currently I have 17 Ali panels fitted out of 63!
Will post photos soon.
Regards
CARLO
