I wish to remind everyone that the ladies and gentlemen of the GT40 Enthusiasts Club have managed to secure GT40P/1019 and P/1042 for the show this weekend, along with two newer Ford GTs and a couple of the best GT40 replicas around. It would be a shame to miss the spectacle, and you are...

Hi Brian, Try- JOHN SADLER <[email protected]> How's it going at CCD?.. Andrew

Hi Darren. When you say "Andy check your PMs", do you mean me or someone else e.g. Saxon Cross? Thanks.. Andrew

I'd love to see that Frank. Can it be fetched up to the NEC, would its owner allow it? "Dick".. where are you???

Hi Frank, I was at Mathwall Engineering's 50th anniversary last Saturday and there was a black Safir MkV on display. I invited him to see if we could show his car, but unfortunately didn't get his contact details. If you know where one lives and it could be used at the NEC, perhaps Dick...

Exciting news- Joaquin Folsch (cousin of the King of Spain) has agreed to allow his Escuderia Montjuich GT40 P1019 to be displayed alongside our cars at the NEC show. Tony Gallagher has been co-ordinating this for us and both GT40P/1019 and P/1042 are being delivered to the NEC by Simon...

Thank goodness! We are hoping to get Sid Taylor in attendance. He owned GT40P/1001 in 1967 when Denis Hulme and Frank Gardner drove it. Thanks to everyone for their hard work.. Andrew

Tony Gallagher, who was around in the old days and knows absolutely everyone who raced back in the day, is willing to man the stand for all three days. He's a recent club member. Andrew

P.S. No promises, but I've emailed some people with original cars to see if they can appear on the stand. I'll keep you informed.. Andrew

You can't pull it, I've been waiting eight years to display my car! For what it's worth, Debbie and I will be there, probably Fri, Sat and Sun. Andrew

Hi Darren, I'm sure it'll be the usual spectaculous display. I'm hoping Sid Taylor can join us to look at the car and take some photographs. Sid Taylor Racing owned 1001 in 1967 and that's his colourscheme the bodywork has reverted too.

P/1042 Finally done it! Thanks to everyone who has supported me with advice, parts, and workmanship. The list is far too long to detail. To say I'm relieved is an understatement. The car is truly magnificent and it's a credit to the guys at CCD Ltd for putting all those old parts...

Is the GT40EC displaying at the NEC in November? Who is organising it, as my car will be back in the UK and I'd like to start to make arrangements to take it to the NEC if you'll have me? Thanks.. Andrew

Thank you, Brian.

P/1042 The guys at CCD kindly sent me video clips of testing the GT40, so my wife, Debbie, and I have put together a DIY movie, which I hope you'll enjoy as much as me! Please click here- FORD GT40- THE MOVIE - YouTube

Andrew Booth is fine. He changed telephone service provider and temporarily lost his number. He's having the time of his life trying to get the old number back. You can email him for his new temporary number.

P/1042 (1001) I understand road MkIs had the door trim, as seen in the photographs below of GT40P/1063. The airscoop on GT40P/1001 can be seen in historical photographs back to late 1966-early 1967, when it competed in the Springbox series; presumably because it's extra hot there, although...

Hi Mike.. I love the online version- Motorsport Digital, because it has every and I mean every Motorsport published back to the 1920s. It's search function in the Archive section is perfect and there is lots of GT40 stuff to read there. You also get 10 free downloads per month. Look up 1013...

P/1042 Received more photographs and a message from CCD today. Note the road trim door cards, which I liked the sound of- "Hi Andrew, Here are more pics, We have now done some miles in the car. Did a full set up first on the suspension all with in a millimetre , firstly had to change all the...

P/1042 Another photo from the CCD team, with registration number fitted.
