Re: Graham Turner\'s GT40s
Strewth !!!!!!!
That article in "Performance Car" has certainly been an eye opener to me and the different comments from around the globe.
Malcolm is correct when he says that i do not have a brochure but i do have a web sight but it shows viewers that it is under construction. For a good reason ??????
I am not a "kit" supplier. I hand build/repair/rebuild race orientated sports racing cars and/or supply all the parts if need be to self builders at considerably less (usually) than most because i do not have the overheads that so many others do. I am basically a one man band who has certain standards that appeal to those who know me and use me.
There are ,however, only 24 hours in a day, and much of the time is absorbed with phone calls, callers, etc, who generally just want to pick my brains and have no intentions of serious business. Now don,t get me wrong that i do not want to be helpfull, but if i tell you that every single caller i have had (and there have been hundreds since that article) have all wanted different specifications so making it impossible to give a fixed price over the telephone or a price list/brochure. There is not a lot of cash floating around out there and my experience has taught me over the years that 99.9999 per cent of the time dealing with "potentials" costs me dearly on phone bills and very valuable hours. For some reason most people leave mobile phone numbers to call them on and they are expensive and i will not spend long on them.
At present i am repairing/respraying a complete Crossle 9 bodyshell etc for a customer, building a complete 40 for a customer, running my own 40, working on the new 917 as well as the existing one, supplying various bits and pieces, etc, etc, and writing this reply in a tea break while some fibreglass repair work is going "off".
So please do contact me if you have serious enquiries and you want no nonsense serious replies. If not please contact the other manufacturers and get their brochures. There is some good stuff out there and some great engineers but "all that glisters is not gold".........................
Finally, this is now the second thread on this subject and i stick by what i have said in the first one. You / I can build an outstanding 40 for a lot less than you think providing you are serious and do not live in "Cloud Cuckoo Land".
Back to work,
Graham.
