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...

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...

Hi Guys Was just wondering what my fellow GT40 petrol heads have as daily drivers. What wonderful pieces of machinery do you commute to work in, do the school run in or take to the supermarket. What kind of wheels give you at least some substitute excitement while you build up the cash for...

Anyone out there know where I might obtain 1/43 scale models of the Mark III GT40, either in diecast or as a white metal or resin kit. I'm trying to re-create in miniature the panoramic photo gathering of GT40s at Road America in 1994. The only ones I am stuck for are the Mark IIIs.
