Hello !
Yes this was a car I built on 1998 ( another was built in 1995 ) and had an entry in Le mans ; but had to cancel( just 3 weeks before qualif days !!) because the engine builder was totally unable to deliver me a ready and tested engine !
Traded this !! Now am retired and .... Bouhouuuuuu I miss this smart construction !!
The previous sister car had a better life as the owner driver had win some french Gt races From 97 to 2000.
Car one was tubular chassis , fiberglass bodies made on specific mold I did on a Gt 40 intensivly modified ( In 1995 I owned a GT !!)
Car 2 ( mine ) had a homebuilt carbon made and Kevlar carbon body plus magnesium uprights.
Both where powered with a twin turbo PRV 6 cylinder engine and big hewland Lg
These were extremly not powerfull and fragile !!
Being retired it would be a dream to have it again and install a smart Ford or chevy engine !
but halas both cars , molds and toolings are sitting in private collectors basement!
anyway after a long 40 years carieer of building so many Le Mans cars I probably would be tired to start again such aproject ???? Never know LOL
May be one day when I will be tired to drive my lawnmower :laugh::laugh::laugh:
If you enjoy I can may be find more pics of how I did the master from an GT 40 body?
Houtch!!!! have to find out in archives paer printed pics and scan these

On the last pics you can see that chassis N° 1 at Le mans 95 prequalification we miss due to a pressure failure on KKK turbo hoses !!!

If there is some interest for some of you I found out all my archives about this built and can post more about how we did all ?
