GT40 illustrated parts list for sale

[K Etheridge]

Hello! I have a listing on ebay for a J W Automotive illustrated parts list and a separate parts sales list which were the workshop copies of my father, the late John Etheridge, they are very well used (!), but I thought they might be of interest

I would love to just have a copy, is there one available out there for download?

Probably not David, there were several versions produced, one sometime between 1963 and 1966 that would have been used at John Wyer Limited, then the copy I'm showing under FAV and then I think there was another one done after that, probably 69/70's. All of them were produced under limited runs of copies (i.e. around 300) and all appear to have been copyrighted so I'm assuming no-one is brave enough to post a photocopy online!!

I would say that the blue JWA book you can see in the picture may well just cover the MK1
The 2nd book you can see, when my father was sales agent for spares, looking through the list (as there are no illustrations in that one), I think it covers more than just the MK1, I know he was still in Danvers Street in 1975 and he would have been looking after several marks at that point

if you have a look at this article you might get some more clues

An ex-J.W.A. mechanic secures the future of these covetable Fords. Production of the Ford GT40 ceased in the late 1960s, by which time this successful sports/racing car had established itself as a classic in its time, an appreciating collector’s item for the future. It epitomised the ’60s much...
