Great Idea Hi All, Count me in! Fernando

I have the serial numbers.

Steve, doesn't Mass. let you register as a 1965 model year? Thus not requiring emissions test. Would you consider a Maine registration that has a non-resident registration program (thus no emissions for MA). I registered my GT40, that resided in CT, with Maine plates.

Steve, if you're going the route of FI, o2 sensor and CATS, aren't you going to need an AFM and a computer brain to which the o2 sensor will report its findings. Generally you'd want the sensor before the CAT so it measures uncatalized exhaust and sends the reading to the ECU and in turn to the...

Photo not showing up. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong. Thanks.

Just found this photo in my files. Thought you might be interested to see the early CAV plant with the first 2 cars imported to the USA (circa Oct, 2000). At that time I was the importer/distributor for North America.

Re: Eric Broadley\'s back ... GT40NA was bought by LA West of La Grange, IN.

One of the great movies of all time. Directed by Claude Lelouche, starring Jean Louis Tringtignant, brother of Maurice Tringtignant, famous French racing driver. Check out this great Claude Lelouche car footage. http://mirror.rtor.net/rendezvous20_04.mov

Last I heard they were bought by a company called LA West out of La Grange Indiana.

I was the first importer for CAV in the US. We shipped the cars two per 22ft container. The Bill of Lading listed the cars as car parts. The DOT defines a car without an engine as "car parts". Transmissions were packed separately in the container. It is advisable to use a freight handler to get...

Re: Yellow Race Cars - I Got a Bunch of B&W Photos!? Hi Andre, Your drawing makes me realize that we met at the CAV factory when I was working with James Fisher and Oliver Macleod Smith in the early days of CAV. I imported the first cars to the USA with my company USAGT40. I hope you're well...

Re: Bill Emerson\'s (BillE) Shop My deepest condolonces for your loss and thank for the info.

Re: Yellow Race Cars - I Got a Bunch of B&W Photos!? Thanks for the info Fred. I always loved that car. The first CAV I imported to the USA was painted to emulate this car. My goal is to have another GT40 soon and at that time I would love to contact you. Best regards Fernando

Re: Yellow Race Cars - I Got a Bunch of B&W Photos!? Correction - The car was entered by Claude Dubois from Belgium, the drivers were Willy Mairesse and Jean Beurlys, both Belgian drivers. The car crashed on the Maulsanne straight on the first lap when the door latch failed, causing the door to...

Re: Yellow Race Cars - I Got a Bunch of B&W Photos!? The yellow GT-40 #8 of Dubois - Mairesse raced at Le Mans in 1968. Car was similar to the JW Gulf cars. Was overall yellow with S.E.V. Marchal and Shell decals. Interestingly it had two small triangular canard wings on either side of the...

Maybe CAV has interchangable parts with GTD, since the spaceframe CAV's were GTD's

I've sent them an e-mail and it bounced. I'll do some more sleuthing and report back. I got my brother in Argentina trying to check it out.

Love to know. The GT40 looks good and considering the the value of the USD to the Argentine Peso it should be a bargain.
