    Old GT40 wanted

    Well I got offered €150.000 recently for my Rover 3.5 V8 powered KVA/GTD MK2 with 1981 road legal EU registration (Dutch), while mine isn't for sale at all and I am not interested in selling at all. Supply and demand. EU road legal GT40's are scarce. These days nearly impossible to get a UK one...

    Old GT40 wanted

    First thing to consider, GT40's don't come cheap, especially when they have road legal EU papers (which is the hardest part to get, nearly impossible now). There's a GTD for sale 300km from Zurich. 01 1989 German registration. Location DE-73441 Bopfingen...

    Exhaust Collectors and line.

    Indeed, non of the GT40s share the same exhaust. Took loads of pics at Spa Six Hours. Most importand thing to consider with your design, make sure your sparkplugs are easy accesable and sparkplug boots have enough clearance. Have seen GT40s where the exhaust had to come off to change a sparkplug.

    GT40 built on 1988 Lola T88/50 indy car

    Thats an interesting F3000 series racecar chassis. They had an interresting engine choice for the 1988 season also Ford-Cosworth DFV, Honda-Judd BV, or Yamaha 3.0 L (183 cu in) DOHC V8. I looks like track width might be a challenge.

    Need Help Identify GT40

    There you have your answer about the value. €180.000 for a replica GT40 that will never be road legal in Italy or anywhere in Europe is way overpriced. At the moment in Europe there are several GT40's going in circles denied bij several country's, from owner to the next owner who all fail to get...

    Need Help Identify GT40

    Beware, only the lightweight version of the GTD MK2 is lighter. The regular GTD MK2 is heavy thick sturdy fibreglass with the frontclip at 45kg and the rearclip at 65kg. Take a look at mobile.de about prices. A GT40 with street legal road registration in Europe is hard to find, that raises the...

    Need Help Identify GT40

    GTDs had mostly a Rover V8 or a Ford Winsor V8. Some had a Ford V6, Cologne or Essex. Transmissions where mostly a Renault UN1, some upgraded to a ZF later on, or Audi transaxle these days. T44 Transaxle is hens teeth, you wont find those in a GTD. They where specific original MK2 & MK4. 7.0...

    Need Help Identify GT40

    Thats a GTD MK2 for sure. I have one in the Netherlands, see pic. Even the dashboard is a GTD piece. Rearscreen is GTD and not MK2 as is the rear valance. GTD made about seven of those according to Lee Dawson early nineties. As I believe three lightweights where made. They used sewer pipe as a...

    Problem about registration in France

    After Brexit, registrating a GT40 with UK V5 papers into the EU is a huge challenge, nearly impossible. Some slip through, most get rejected. I used a specialist company (at a cost) to get mine road legal in Holland. I now have a 1981 Ford GT sports coupe on papers road legal 1981 where my KVA...

    You are not the only one in France as Paul Hendrixks is having the same issues. Regulations have changed making it impossible it seems.

    GT 40 MK II outside mirrors?

    I am running classic Engelmann mirrors on my MK2. Found also on many classic Opels like GT & Manta etc. If Opel is the source than they also have a GM stamping. Mine are without GM stamping. My nearside mirror is spaced out as you can. see in the pictures. Sight is very good with these. Way...

    Windscreen

    Yes, Bronze tinted, electric heated, with all the DOT markings. Fits like a glove. I am very happy with it. No more foggy windscreen in my 40. Glad I went for a tinted screen also as it reduces heat from the sun. Ricky makes them with any tint, even with a sun blocker on top if you like...
