All the software 'glitches'. Try turning it off and back on again. The sync 2 screen in my Ford that has twice gone blank for no reason. The radio channel button on my steering wheel that sometimes changes channel instantly & sometimes takes 20 seconds to do the same thing. All the patches &...

Markus, Jos, agreed !

Paul is this the one you're referring to ? It's very active in historic racing, with it's Essex based owner. https://petrolicious.com/articles/here-s-what-it-s-like-to-race-a-ford-gt40-on-the-limit A more recent AMR car in that it was supplied by the current Allan Mann Racing, indeed Henry...

No TC & TX are key types in this instance. They were the last 'normal' keys before Ford (of Britain, at least) went to Chubb (hedgehog profile) and then Tibbe (diamond profile). TC (Taunus - Cortina) as a car I'm familiar with, as the Mk3 Cortina / Taunus ranges jointly developed by Ford...

Hello Keith, Is that out of a steering lock or a fascia mounted barrel ? The key looks very conventional to me (old fashioned, I supposed a youngster would say....) Reminds me of a British Ford TC or TX type. I suppose walking into a traditional locksmith whose helpful & willing to do a bit of...

Simply stunning !

Hello Hans, It's entirely up to you what you build, non Ford just seems a really hard path to follow to me. If you study the build logs on here you'll see hundreds of issues that crop up with builds (even with complete kits from one supplier) & how long some members take to finish their cars...

I hope not !

One of the main UK magazines featured the story at the time.

Hello all, I had my second AstraZeneca jab last Friday afternoon too. No side effects at all. Keeping up the hygiene & precautions though, what with the new strains doing the rounds. First motor racing for me last weekend since the Goodwood Revival 2019 ! Brands Hatch Masters with 3999 other...

Hope all goes smoothly for you. Steve

Sorry, as stated above, this has nothing to do with a GT40, wrong plate & not GT40 codes either ! When rules were slacker it was fairly common for builders to use a 'donor' cars details to give a kit car or replica an identity. That way you could get a log book (V5 as is now) that stated 'Ford...

Sorry to read this news. Stephen

I took my wife's leopard skin coat to be dry cleaned yesterday, it came back spotless. "Waiter, how long will my spaghetti be ?" - 'I am not sure sir, we don't usually measure it' I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her. The toilets at a local police station...

gt40.co.uk page last updated 2005 according to said site. If you are looking to purchase something is this the direction you want to be going in ? There's several active companies with good reputations for GT40 replicas a phone call away.

Fun with scammers.

We get all these scam calls in the UK too. Mobile & landline. My last two were 'your washing machine extended warranty is about to expire.....' & 'amazon are going to charge you £xx'. In the UK we have the 'Telephone Preference Service' a typically toothless body with very limited powers, &...

I had my first shot of Oxford-AstraZeneca 4 days ago. No problems & second one booked for the first week of June. Vaccinations going at good rate here in England, anyone over 50 or a carer can now book theirs. Some figures below. (Pretty poor efforts by some developed countries....)...
