Ian, I would highly recommend having a chat with Philip Greig at Kirkton Motor Body Works in Banchory. Phil carried out a full bare shell restoration and respray on my son's 1991 Classic Mini and the paint finish is absolutely superb. He's been in the paint spraying business a long time and...

After years of lurking in the background and absorbing as much as I can about GT40 replica ownership I'm thinking of 'taking the plunge'. Recently been offered a Type A KVA with proper 302 Ford V8 and Renault 21 Turbo transaxle. It's not certain when it was built as it has had 5 owners but by...

Many happy returns of the day Paolo. It was my birthday on the 17th also and it was great to get the birthday greetings e-mail from GT40s.com when I opened up my Inbox on Thursday morning well before the postie arrived with my huge bundle of 4 cards ! We also share the same birthday as Sir...

Hi Ian Just come across your thread. I'm in Inverurie and have been a GT40 fan since the late 60s when I had a Gulf Scalextric car. Would love to come by some time to see how you're getting on with the build. Send me a PM if you wouldn't mind me having a nose around now and again. Would...

Yes, my son and I will be there all 3 days following our charity trip from John O'Groats to Lands End in his 1991 Mini the week before. We went in 2002 but always promised ourselves we would be back - 7 years is far too long. We're still welcoming sponsorship for our trip in aid of Alzheimers...

As many of you will know, the Mini celebrates its 50th birthday this year. At the age of 8 my son Andrew saw the Michael Caine movie 'The Italian Job' for the first time and immediately fell in love with all things Mini. He promised himself at that age to save up all the money he received as...

My 17 year old petrolhead son has just done the quiz without any input from me and got 15/20 ! That's ma boy !

Oh my god, sad or what - 19/20 ! I'm an anorak and proud of it. It helps however when you've owned 11 of the Fords featured. Got one of the Fiestas wrong

Been having bit of a clear out of the loft and came across some GT40 stuff I'd almost forgotten I had. Initial feeling was to hang on to them but soon realised they would just gather dust for a few more years so better to let someone else enjoy them -Have a look - I'm sure there will be...

After a bit of a cock up by the subscriptions department of Motor Sport Magazine, following my change of bank, they failed to send me the March 2006 issue of the mag. Despite requesting a back issue 4 times they still failed to send me it. They now tell me that all back issues have been sold...

GT40 Crystals For Scotland ( & England !) Absolutely right Paul. We're quite used to our colonial cousins' misunderstanding of the geography of the United Kingdom. Even a high percentage of the US oilmen living and working in this neck of the woods still think they're based in 'England'...

GT40 crystals - UK orders Ron What's the latest on UK orders ? Have any more been ordered since your last update on May 5th. Unless anyone else has volunteered, I would be happy to receive the UK orders in bulk then send them on subject to further payments from everyone, if necessary, for...

Ron, To confirm my previously registered interest, and in response to Paul's call for UK buyers, yes I would like one crystal. Will go with whatever can be organised to minimise shipping costs. Surely we can get 25 UK buyers. We will have to allow for import duty though. Not sure how much that...

More than 40 models on offer including a rare built resin of the '66 GTP J Car. Everything to do with me ! 1/43 GT40s

I'd like one too please Ron.

Well, after a lot of soul searching, I've come to the conclusion that lack of suitable budget, dire lack of spare time and complete lack of any interest or support from 'the minister of domestic affairs' means that I will never be in a position to buy or build a replica GT40. Although I will...
