P/1042 (1001) This is what I love about my car- bumbling around on Ebay and found two photographs of GT40P/1001, being raced at Snetterton in March 1967 with Denis Hulme at the wheel. The car was then owned by Sid Taylor Racing.. and "yes" I did buy the pictures. I've now got approaching 150...

Hi Brian, you're a true gentleman for allowing the guys to get on with my car for the sake of yours. It looks like you, Jimmy, Alastair and me, may have something to truly celebrate very soon. See you at the LMC in July. Watch out for a bright yellow Europa TC, as I'll either be in it, or...

Hi Jimmy and Alastair.. great achievement and although mine's been professionally bolted together for obvious reasons, I applaud you both. Good health and enjoy your cars. Sincerely, Andrew

P/1042 (1001) Perhaps Chris Amon will be test driving my GT40 before the end of this summer after all-

Brian- I second Tony's message and pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery, Andrew

Re: P/1042(1001) I'm informed, the wiring is complete and fuel systems in place. There are two FIA bag tanks, but only one filler as GT40P/1001 was the 1966 Essex Wire Le Mans GT40 of Ickx/Nerspach and had only one (right hand) fuel filler. Hence, interestingly, there is only one fuel gauge...

P/1042(1001) "THE ENGINE'S IN!" As a reminder this is the short motor out of GT40P/1042 with heads from GT40P/1079. Thanks to the guys at Classic Car Developments in New Zealand, the reincarnation is getting nearer and nearer the finish point.

Being a true Northerner, was he too tight to give you all eight???! See you at the LMC Mike. Andrew

P/1042(1001) The race is really now on to get the car ready for the Le Mans Classic in July. It's a long-shot, but the CCD guys are pulling together to finish the GT40. The car would have to be air freighted home, which would probably be cost-prohibitive, but after 10 years of planning...

A number of interested parties have asked me if they can visit this graveyard down on old Macdonald's farm. I'm afraid, that although the photographs are real, the location is not accessible and, in any case, a lot of the parts have now been sold and removed. I will post images of more...

Although off topic, if people want to see what else lurked down at the farm, then please let me know here?

Now that's what I call a barn find! More photos from the farm.

Nope, all original parts from GT40s, Cobras and some bodywork from a badly damaged 1960s Ferrari GT racing type. I could only take a few candid shots, as the owner didn't want a crowd of enthusiasts around. The find wasn't confined to bodywork, as there was a small skip (dumpster) full of...

The parts were found at an old farm in SW UK which has recently changed hands.

Disguarded original parts from old racing cars. What an interesting find, however!

I came across this sportscar graveyard on my journies-

Michael... I always enjoyed your stories of old on your website and Autosport forum.. especially about the blonde in the Ferrari! Good luck with your book.. Andrew

Yes, Claude kindly let me sit in 1016 at the 2012 Le Mans Classic. That car is truly amazing and what a nice gesture from a real gentleman.

P/1042 I was beginning to despair, but was very excited to receive these photographs of progress, which illustrate the 1965 motor from 1042 mated to my ZF-0 transaxle (serial number 215). Note the old GT40 starter with remnants of orange paint, which used to match the coil and plug leads. Also...

Nope, I cannot get the link to work, so you'll have to Google as I said, then go to Archives and in their search box, put whatever you fancy. Enjoy.. Andrew
