Have no clue why this poated twice. Can't seem to find a way to delete the duplicate. Tell me how and I will get rid of it. Thanks.

My brother compared the parts number info in the list from the guy from England (There is an excell file in an earlier posting) to the hundreds of ones he has. There are only a few that are common. Here is what he sent me the other day. You may find his comments interesting if you wish to...

Hi again. This is an email from my brother regarding the drawing list offered by the guy from England. I understand he wants big bucks (pounds) for a copy. Here is what he observed. Hi, Warren, I'm doing this e-mail wireless from my laptop, so I can't access the files on my tower...

I posted a copy of the response letter and the Advertisement in the gallery section about a month ago. Suggest you check it out. I will be posting a couple of additional pictures of #108 inside his garage in Springfield, IL during the time he owned it. I have prints but they are not as good...

This is a copy of the letter inquiring about #108 along with a copy of the original ad that George Sawyer ran wanting to sell the car in Autoweek magazine in June of 1971. I have blacked out personal number information to provide privacy.

Documentation seems to be essential with lineage to an original GT-40, especially the 108 because of inaccurate record keeping or just not having the correct information. I will be posting a picture of a copy of the original magazine Ad placed by George Sawyer along with the initial contact...

The man in Massachusettes ran an ad in "Competition Press & Autoweek" for a GT-40. This was was prior to March 1972. At thattime my brother was already considering the sale of #108. His name was/is Paul R Lohnes in Cambridge, MA. He did not purchase the #108.

Steering wheel detail of the 1965 GT-40 Mark I Roadster.

I am putting a photo in the Gallery section of the "Steering Wheel" of the 1965 GT-40 #108 Mark I. It was not at Elkhart Lake but it might be helpful. Maybe you can rverse engineer out it's size from other parts of the steering wheel.

As promised. Today's update on the #108. Not ready to give up the purchase price just yet. So here is my latest installment. This will have to do until Monday or Tuesday next week. I will check in to read whatever comments are made but will not be able to respond. I will delete details...

So, as I promised, are some more details on the #108 purchase in 1971 from George Sawyer. By the way I do know the purchase price in 1971. Will reveal that later, maybe. My brother has been retired for a while, and much of the miniscule details are hard to put exactly in place on events that...

Update: First thing I appologized for posting what I thought was accurate information based on my memory of the car and pictures I had. I will not appologize any further, waste of time. My brother is correcting me on a lot of stuff. His latest email to me with additional information about...

Thanks. The additional pictures he took in his yard on Old Jacksonville Road outside West of Springfield, IL (area called New Berlin) are colored slides. Perhaps there is a way to get them into prints. Hard to scan them. Might even satisfy the Doubting Thomas in so many of us. In the...
