Building and owning my car has been a huge and very enjoyable part of my life for 24 years. However, I am not getting any younger and have decided it is time to move on. If you know of anyone keen to own a very high quality 40, without the wait-time involved in a custom build, pass the link on...

I have an original 4 screw variant and, yes, the tabs simply fit into two slots cut in the fibreglass.

I bought several many years ago when I was building my car. Put the best 5 on the car and have these left over. I was never happy that the original clip mechanism was sufficient to hold them securely in the fibreglass, so modified them so that they are bolted on and hold modern bulb holders...

I live too far away, unfortunately, but happy to ship internationally if anyone has an interest in either of these.

Going by the shape of the nostrils, the vents at the rear of the front clip, and the ducting in the B-pillar, I believe the photo posted above is of a very early prototype.

I'm 6'4" and my partner 5'11" and are both reasonably broad in the shoulders. It's a tight fit, but once in, we are both quite comfortable and have travelled many hundreds of miles together in the 40.

Mine's a FISPA unit, as used on some old Alfas and Ferraris. Once again, they crop up occasionally on eBay or look on historic Alfa sites.

I do not recall the source of this, but it is supposedly a wiring diagram for a MKI.

No - probably don't fit the criteria then. Good luck with the build.

Nice looking car. Good luck with the sale.

Keep us posted Steve. I assume you have joined the GT40 owners NZ Facebook group.

My wheels are 15 x 12 and 15 x 8.5. Tyres are 295/50VR15 and 215/60VR15.

Mine have done 11,000 mikes. There's still maybe a 1000 to 1500 miles left on them, but I figure I'll change them soon to be on the safe side.
