That's a shame, usually there have been 3 or 4 actually racing when I've been before. Not heard anything from anyone taking their car so will just see who I can find tomorrow or Saturday.

Thanks, if I don't get anything arranged beforehand i'll look out for the flags and go and lurk!

Meant to say I will make a donation to the running of GT40s.com if someone can help. Cheers

Hi, Is anyone taking their gt40 / replica to the Silverstone Classic next weekend? If so would you mind letting me and my girlfriend have a seat in it for a couple of minutes so I can propose to her? We decided two weeks ago to get married after finding out her father has terminal cancer...

Looking good so far, glad to see the twin nostril hatch came out top, the better look imo but just personal preference. Out of interest, as the bigger brakes won, will the 15" wheels still fit?

Look forward to seeing this. Btw the web page title says torando...

I did a bit of a search after reading abotu it in Hot Rod mag. The pro-touring forums have a lengthy discussion in their electrical section. Might be worth a read. www.pro-touring.com

Congratulations guys, have been following this build with interest, the dedication and attention to detail is inspirational, and the results speak for themselves. I'm sure this thread will be a mine of information for future builders (hopefully me included if the pound resurfaces from the...

had this engine in my old xr4x4, from my experience they are very good, but parts availability is becoming a problem for some items e.g. timing chains etc. there is a company called Boost Performance in Derbyshire who do a lot of them (as well as chevy LS)

Am I right in thinking that a car registered in any EU country (including UK!) can be used in any other EU country, and reg transferred if necessary? i.e. get it SVA'd then register it in your home country?

Wow, just spent the last week of lunchbreaks reading this entire thread. That is incredible progress in a short length of time, and would seem to speak volumes about the kit quality and/or your commitment to the project. I am seriously considering a Tornado kit myself now. wrt the panelling...

Probably safe, in my experience bright and DVLA don't go together! would be interested to know if anyone has done this though. I used to have a sierra xr4x4 converted to cosworth 24v V6, never told them about engine number change as never realised it was something I should do, don't see how...

Thanks, for the info guys. The reason I ask is that I am considering building a GT40, but due to budget considerations I was hoping to use a pretty basic engine, for example something like SBF real steel advertise for around £2.5k, then upgrade later. Might have to look into getting something...

How about this? Gallery of pictures ACM - Bonito to be honest I t would make me want to vomit each time I opened the garage door but each to their own...

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I have spent some time on the forum and not found it. I'm aware that SVA has different emissions regs for different ages of vehicle/engine. If a "new" engine is fitted how likely is it to pass the SVA? can a carbed engine pass or would you have to go...
