Bob,
I am most sorry to hear that these events are upon you. It is most important that you take care of yourself. I hope that in time, this will be behind you and that you will have another pass at a 'forty.

Really sorry to hear about the divorce. Been there (7 years ago).

Can't you work a deal and sell the car really cheap to a friend, and then buy it back after the divorce is final? If it's still in kit form, it's value is only the sum of the parts.

I would try and work some deal so you may keep it. Whatever it takes.

Thank you all for the kind support. The car has a new owner and will be moving to South Borrough MA near Boston. I will be back in the game in no time. (hopefully)!

I share the sentiments expressed regarding Bob’s divorce. I know several people who say their divorce was akin to dying, and it can be an emotional nightmare. Bob, I hope to see you in the driver’s seat of a GT40 in the not-too-distant future. Based on my understanding of Bob’s track record with other car building and restoration projects, I know he’ll be doing something very interesting soon.

That said, I would like to announce that Bob and I have reached an agreement regarding financial terms and that I will be the new owner of Bob’s car. On one hand I feel guilty about benefiting from Bob’s misfortune, yet I am thrilled to finally own the car of my dreams, even if it is in a few thousand pieces right now. Frankly, I’m intimidated about trying to carry Bob’s dedication to quality and attention to detail through the rest of the build, but I promise to give it my best effort. Let me assure you that Bob’s car has indeed found a good home.

Thanks, Bob, and best wishes in your future endeavors, car-building and otherwise.

Regards,
Mark

Bob,

I for one wish you a speedy recovery, if that is the correct way to say it.

Bob is a very special customer for me in the US ; my FIRST .

While others worried if they were going to be ripped off by an Irishman living in Australia (not that endeering) he put down the deposit and waited for the car to be sent. He was a true spirit with a great deal of trust and I am greatful for that trust. I do wish him the best with everything and am sorry that I was not quick enough to buy back his car. Please Bob stay active in this forum as you have many friends here and I for one will gladly listen to your words of wisdom.

Good luck MATE

Robert
