Hi Jim, Sorry I haven't replied earlier, but I have been edged off the internet by my computer mad children. The book title is "The Ford GT - New Vehicle Engineering and Technical History of the GT-40". Use ISBN 0-7680-1421-2 for ordering. The interesting thing about the book is the use, in the...

Over the years I have always been intrigued about mentions of the fact that the GT40s ran Boeing windscreen wipers. I've just been given the SAE Papers for Christmas, and the full story is explained in great detail. It appears that the components were based on units fitted to the 707. On the...

Paul, Try Fraser Vincent at [email protected] He is an ex M-Sport Ford Rally Team wiring technican, and can build a loom for virtually anything - His standards are very high and his prices good. I have used him for a number of years for rally projects, and can recommend him without...

Re: \"Blue and Orange\" Hi Graham, Can you please forward an advance booking form for "Blue and Orange" to me at [email protected] Saw your 917 at the Autosport Show - My son, a 917 fanatic, was in seventh heaven. Unfortunately, I cannot convert him to GT40s. Many thanks and best...

John, I have just returned from two days at the Autosport International Show to find a parcel marked "From the U.S.A." Upon opening, nestling amongst the packing was a blue box containing a marvel of modern technology - A transluscent GT40 encased in crystal. It is out of this world. Even my...
