Hi,
After wanting a GT40 for over 20 years, as of last night I have a well-used and loved KVA tucked away in my Garage.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o></o>
<o></o>The car is very well known and was built by Robin Sundt, so she has a whole website dedicated to it which is very good to know and lots of information.
I have been a lurker for ages, but happily now a paid up Bronze Supporter and also just joined the Enthusiasts Club, thought I better as I bought the car of the current chairman and it was built by the previous!!!<o></o>
<o></o>Anyway will try and make it next Wed to the meeting, but I don't think it will be in the GT40, few issues to sort out for the MOT.<o></o>
<o></o>And problems with the starter, I need to find a geared starter for a Transit flywheel ??!! I have a lot to learn.
<o></o>
<o></o>Brakes seized on when taking off the trailer, and then freed up when I stalled it, so suspect a vacuum problem in the servo??
Electrics that work then don't then do
<o></o>
A 351 High compression engine, that I'm ever so slightly scared of, in fact the whole car scares me a little, which quite frankly is brilliant.
<o></o>
<o></o>Planning to go to Le Mans this year (as always) but if I can get the GT40 ready it will probably know its own way there!!
<o><o></o>I hope to meet some of you very soon!!</o>
<o><o></o>
</o><o></o>Wish me luck, it’s going to be emotional!!<o></o>
<o></o>Cheers
Grant<o></o>
