For sale is my lovely Southern GT GT40 Mk1 built by me between 2015 - 2017. The car passed its IVA and was first registered on the road in 2017. Since then it’s only covered 4550 miles. The car develops 427HP from the Ford 351W V8 Engine. Rear tyres were replaced recently and have about 350...

I’m not in an educated person ??? who do you think you are!! The CAD files for these latches are available for free download. Simple fact! Google is your friend. (I doubt you have many others) If you made a quality part it would not fall apart even if dropped on a concrete floor and this...

The CAD files for these latches is easily available for download online for free and anyone going to the expense of making them would obviously make a few extra to cover the cost. Charlie it sounds like if your product was a better quality in the first place this would never have happened...

IVA test was on the 4th April just under 10 months from starting the build. The test went really well and had small taste of attention these cars can attract with a small crowd gathering around the car asking questinos outside the test centre. Failed on a handful of daft minor things that have...

Hi Daniel, Personally, I would think twice about the Forte. I know some would disagree but at the end of the day there isn't a single Forte on the road anywhere in the world. (to my knowledge) I've also experienced the customer service first hand and have nothing positive to say there. Having...

Quick update, hoping for IVA date in early march. Good progress the last couple of weeks, most of the IVA specific work now complete and i now have the noise down to the required level by making my own modifications to the silencers :-) very happy with home made exhaust system! Full size...

Hi Nick, I think this is correct and pretty sure we will be charged the higher rate based on declared or assessed value. Trying to get mine through before April to avoid this :-) Dan

Today I started the engine for the first time and drove her out of the garage :-) I finished building the stainless steel exhaust last weekend (minus the rear brackets) and had been trying to start the car for a few days, unfortunatly I'd set the valve lash incorectly when i built the engine...

Ok so quick update, last weekend was a momentus ocasion with the GT40 coming off her build stand 5 months to the day after I started the build. We collected the body a couple of days after and sepnd the weekend messing around trying get it all lined up. Still a fair bit of work to do there and...

Southern GT Number 36 Week 8 This week things started to get finished ! The last parts (for now) came back from the powder coaters and i managed to get the nose section pretty much finished. Front end I now have the radiator and condenser installed, all front pipe work complete, steering...

Southern GT Number 36 week 7 I've been dreaming of this bit for ages ! Getting the engine in seems like a big turning point, Paul Baverstock (SGT18) helped me get the engine in. After a bit of fiddling with the rear build trolley position we got it in quite quickly. Thank you Morten (SGT...

Southern GT Number 36 week 6 Week 6 was all about getting ready to get the engine in the following week. To do this i had to get the cooling pipes installed in the tunnel and all of the engine electrics (not many) roughly in the right places. I also picked up the gear shifter and linkage...

Southern GT Number 36 week 5 Another lunch time trip to Southern GT and picked up my brake and clutch pipes along with the remaining panels. First job was to get the remaining panels fitted so i could get them off to the powdercoaters. I normally get them back within 3 days and wanted to...

Hi Brett, I didn't at that point but i do :-)

Southern GT Number 36 week 5 all but half a dozen panels are now fitted, i was still waiting for the remaining ones but nothing that would stop work in other areas. More work on the aircon unit this week getting all of the cables re terminated to match my waterproof connectors and the...

Southern GT Number 36 Week 4 Progress over 4 weeks was amazing but she still looks a little like a boat or plane more than a car :-) This week I started work on the dash loom, gauges, switches and warning lights. I've fitted everything in the fiber glass dash for now but i'm planning on...
