    Transport from the Pacific NW to the 2024 GT40 Reunion

    Would really like to attend this event, but the 2100 mile tow (each way) is a real hardship. At 72, with recent knee replacement surgery, I don’t know whether I’m up to three long days of towing each way, and what kind of shape I would be in after reaching the event. So I am interested in...

    Fueling an SPF Mark I

    I am leaving next Saturday to pick up my SPF Mark I. I have heard conflicting information regarding fueling the car. I know there is a crossover pipe/line between the two fuel tanks, but is it large enough to equalize the level of gas between the two tanks while filling from a single fill...

    Car Security

    My completed SPF Mark I will be ready for pick up in a couple of weeks. It started me thinking about what can I do in the event that the car is either stolen or the possibility of a carjacking? Aside from installing a hidden battery or cutoff switch, what other things have you done to insure...

    Two Questions Regarding SPF GT40

    Just received word yesterday that my car has finally reached the U.S, and in fact has been received at Hillbank Motors in Irvine, California. They sent me a couple of pictures of it on the shipping dolly, and it brought up a couple of questions. The first one is in regard to the windshield...

    Transaxle Dilemma

    I realize this subject has been broached many times in the past, however, a lot of these posts are ten, twelve, even 15 years old, and the posters are no longer even active. I’m hoping there might be newer or updated information. Let me begin by saying that I have an SPF Mark1, which is...

It is a standard wide body, LHD, rear spoiler, full leather interior, stainless exhaust, done in the Gulf livery. The only thing that may be “unusual is that I did have them include...

    A Problem For the Panel

    How would you handle the following issue? Back in early November, after due diligence and much research, I decided to purchase a Superformance GT40 MK1 through Hillbank Motor Sports. I was told I could get a build date in July 2022 if I got my deposit in quickly, and that I could complete the...

    Quaife versus ZF/RBT

    I have my SPF Mk1 GT40 on order, with a mid year build date. I know that the Quaife or RBT transaxle will be installed, however, I am concerned whether there is anybody that is capable/qualified to work on a Quaife? RBT is located in So. California, where the car will be finished, so any...

    Greetings from Big Sky Country

    I recently made the decision to purchase a SPF Mark I, after originally planning to buy an ERA Cobra kit for a winter project. But aside from the fact they are quoting 14 month delivery time, I don’t enjoy the wrenching as much as I used to. I raced formula cars with the SCCA, VARA and HSR...
