It’s taken me 6 months to find this lot. There is a few of the clear reverse lights listed but not a lot of the brake tail lights. I would be interested to know how heavy a set of the Simca 1100 rear lights are to determine if weight was a factor in the change away from the Ford parts bin...

the good think about these fuses is, you can lick your fingers and run them across the top of them to find a blown one in the dark :)

These arrived last night in the post/dhl. They are noticeably heavy, this is an unmodified one, straight of a donor car, still has a couple of the mounting nuts, gaskets, globes and wires on it. This may have been the reason why they moved away from the Ford/Mercury lights. For...

Time for another update, if only to remind myself of where I am up to as its been a few weeks since I have been able to touch the project. As mentioned elsewhere I think I have decided on a prototype to focus on. I was continually finding that I was looking at photos of different cars and...

probably best to start a new thread

Rip Will Wonder. Certainly, some great stories here. @jameswonder I have created a Pinterest collection for GT40 - GT103 chassis (and a few others). There will no doubt be a number of photos of Bill in there. I hope you are doing ok. My dad passed the other year and it still hurts and I miss...

If anyone has a copy of drawing 2042, please get in contact with me.

I’m not sure. White with Blue/red stripe as per ford France was chassis P1003, P1007 and P1020 (currently at Lemans Museum) and Ronnie Spain also lists a few other races that those two drivers races but does not list the chassis number? GT109 Roadster was raced by Ford France at the 65...

They are looking fantastic. I'm about to test fit my face vents shortly. Fingers crossed its ok.

agree, so many little differences across the cars. Early cars vs later cars, road car vs race vs Mirage vs something that was later converted back to a race car, then there is the differences between MK's and crash damage or particular race cars from different owners/teams. A Race car would be...

That may well be the intention. I would need to see photos of the nose structure on the first couple of production cars, as they were still sorting out details of those parts as they went into production. the definitive nose was fist fitted to 1004 or 1005 wasn't it? GT40P/1/2299 - 2300...

I seem to recall noticing that all the MK III stuff was with the XL prefix. That is just a general observation though.

Always welcome here James, good luck in Retirement. Regards Ryan
