Hi everyone,
After catching the GT-fever when watching a coverage on a CAV GT40 on TV in 2007 my dream became true last Friday when I finally signed up for a 2008 (i.e. post #100) CAV GT40 after months of negotiations with the seller
The car is still at the dealer's website (marked sold) - anyone interested is invited to check out the 78 pictures available. Please let me have any expert comments which could be useful for me (as I am clearly not an engineer but just an admirer of that car - nothing else comes close).
Ford GT 40 CAV 1975 - der Dampfhammer
The paperwork should be completed within a week or so and then I will go for the initial 150km ride to the car's new home.
I would like to thank everyone on the forum answering my previous questions and there are more to come as the car still needs some upgrades like a video system, a lift system (most probably RamLiftPro), I will need a car cover etc but I will post this in the relevant sections (and will of course also upgrade my Membership now that I really joined the crowd).
As you can see from above the car is a wide body in wimledon white with green stripes which I am planning to replace soon with blue stipes (or just one large blue stripe) plus blue GT40 stripes on the side sills and I am also planning to add some other authentic decals from Racelinedigital.
Will be posting more pics once the transformation is done.
All the best from Austria
Thomas
