Hi All,
I would love this to be true, but I don't think 250 drawings is anywhere near enough to detail out the whole car, so this lot would have to be viewed as a start on making this public domain.
For reference I'm at ~200 drawings for my car which is much simpler part wise than would have been produced for the GT40 after all the fab of parts needed to be subcontracted and so on.
The next stupid question would be does whoever has these drawings have the right to sell them and are they under copyright or not? I wouldn't want Ron to be at the pointy end of some IP law suit.
Having said all that if some one knowledgable goes through them and says a chassis could be fab from them, then I'm definately in for $100.
If this is true the next stage would be to turn them all into 3D CAD to make sure it actually went together - fill in the gaps. Thats a project I'd like to be involved with.
