1965 Ford GT40 engine complete and ready for inspection. Mathwall Engineering supplied 289 ci V8 motor to suit Mk I Ford GT40, but would also work in a Mk I or Mk II AC Cobra with different inlet manifold. See- About Us | Mathwall Engineering Limited This is a complete engine...

Has anyone got a pair of BRM 8" or 9"x15" wheels for sale? Original BRMs are preferred, but replicas could be considered in order to get my GT40 finished. I'd also consider an original set of 4 7"x15" and 9"x15" Halibrands. Narrower would be also possible, but no wider, as we're having...

Sorry Darren, but it looks like no progress has been made on my car since before the summer, so it won't be ready for the NEC in November. Yet again, another "target" missed. It's been seven years now and counting. Maybe next year eh? Best Regards.. Andrew

Chris Amon: A Legend Superformance Superformance and its dealers are saddened by the loss of Chris Amon, one of the best Formula One drivers of his generation. Mr. Amon passed away from cancer today at the age of 73. He competed in Formula One between 1963 and 1976, starting 95 races...

Frank has worked on a number of original GT40s and has given me parts for P/1042, for which, I am very grateful. Best Regards. Andrew

Hi Alan, not sure I follow that altogether, but it wouldn't explain why one of the five spokes on each wheel is embossed with the word "GT40". Anyone?

Yes, thank you to all for organising a magnificent wweekend, including the Hotel de France evening meal and after dinner speech by Maitland Cooke. It was great to catch up with most of my old friends and make some new ones. My feet are still blistered however, following all the walking about...

There must be an esthetic reason why GT40 owners also have a Europa. I have owned a yellow 72 Twincam since 1982 and have a GT40. My good friend John Christian, also has a GT40 and Europa TC. I understand Ronnie Spain has a keen interest in Europas and more than a passing fancy of GT40s, I...

A Fordarri GT40! Enzo and Henry are either turning over in their graves or thinking "why didn't we think of that?"! It'll be one heck of a car, best of luck... Andrew

P/1042 (1001) And now for the speedo photograph-

P/1042 (1001) The speedometer you see in the dashboard shots is a reproduction Smiths-GT40 gauge from GT40 Gold Parts in the UK. However, after discussions with Dave Brown, it's been decided to replace it with the original speedo from GT40P/1013, the Ford press car, which featured in many...

Hi, what a wonderful achievement. I remember it being for sale in parts and was sorely tempted, but you got there first and have certainly done well to put it back together in such a relatively short period of time. "bravo".. Andrew P.S. When I come across it, please let me cast my hands over it.

Hi Randy, I'm certain we've had this discussion before and Gt40P/1008 now sits on the five spoke wheels. I think Alan Feldman went into the history, but the wheels on my car actually came from GT40P/1002, otherwise known as Felix as its' registration number was "FEL 1C" My wife "eagerly" (not)...

P/1042 (1001) More excellent progress-

Hi Darren. I was hoping it would be ready for the LMC, but I'm pretty convinced it'll be at the NEC in November. See- http://www.gt40s.com/forum/original-gt40s/25758-p1001-20.html#post494553

Hi Darren, assuming P/1042 will be back in the UK by November, I'd like to offer it for the NEC show. It could be its' debute. Best Regards... Andrew

Hi Andy, from what I know 1001 seems to have always had six spoke magnesium BRMs. I have a spare set of 8"x15" and 12"x15", but they will not fit the rear bodywork. In any case, as I'm not building a copy of 1001, just using its' shell, I found a set of five spoke FAV GT40 wheels which are...

P/1042 (1001) Well, 10 years in the planning, 8 years collecting original parts and 6 years in the making, and it's almost here. Also, thanks to the car's historian, John Christian, for digging up yet another period photograph from somewhere. This one was taken 50 years ago, when the car was...

John- just to say publicly, a huge "thank you" for coming out of GT40 retirement to help the CCD guys complete my car... Andrew
