David, Thanks for details of that site - extremely useful site to know! Martin

Forgot to add that the engine is brand new (just 200 miles on it) and cost over £10,000 to build.

My GTD40 currently registered as 6 GTD Price is for sale at £45,000. The car cost me £30,000 2 years ago and has since had a further £37,000 spent on it within the past two years (full backup available). Summary details of the car are given below: Background of Car - Built in...

Guys Where did you get your Gulf decals? Martin

Mike Business must be (very) good! Martin

Mike Are you thinking of getting an original car? Martin

If anybody is interested, I just spotted a pair of Weber 48 IDAs for sale on ebay. Their condition does not look that great, but the current price reflects that. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43979&item=2455418173

Faili, Ok let's move on and try to ensure that humour differences on each side of the pond do not cause unnecessary rifts on the forum FYI, I didn't get your mail until last night as I couldn't access my ISP. Forum mail is good in this respect as it doesn't require your ISP to work (which...

Faili, Your tone is completely uncalled for and is not welcome on this forum. Andrew's remarks about the concrete bridge were simply light-hearted humour and not meant to be offensive in any way. I know that humour is different on each side of the pond, but it was not meant to be offensive...

Faili I think you will find that Andrew was referring to your picture which does look remarkably like you and your friend have been concreted in a bridge in fact. I never noticed it before but after Andrew's comment I see what he means! I think it is a rather unfortunate camera angle. Martin

I would add originality to the list of criteria that you need to think about - ie. to what extent do you want your car to look, sound and handle just like an original car did. If this is important to you then Weber 48 IDA carbs are your answer but there are some drawbacks associated with these...

James et al, Thanks for the replies. I have just moved house so have been offline for a while. James, in respect of the $9,000 you quoted, did that include duty and VAT? Martin

I am a Brit and I would take the V8 anyday in terms of sound!

Fred, yes it is but obviously not until I get a replacement. Give me a call. Thanks, Martin

Sorry, forgot to add that I am looking for a 5ds-25 of course.

I am looking for a ZF Transaxle to purchase. Please let me know if you are aware of any for sale, particularly in the UK. Martin

I can't comment on values in the USA for GTDs but in the UK, a car with that spec (very basic as a lot of GTDs have been highly modified) and condition would go for around £24k. That is around $40k at current ex rates.

Anybody have any idea on how much it would cost in shipping for a ZF transaxle to the UK and how long it takes? Thanks, Martin

I am now the proud owner of one of these remarkable sets of carbs (an early Xmas present from the wife). Can't wait to get them on and then the engine on the dyno for set up!
