John, many thanks for your time and trouble to post some brilliant photo's.

Great pictures. I was there and they really capture the mood.
The Porsche 917s were very impressive also.

I should mention that the Porsches were in a different group and therefore not on the track at the same time as the early GT40s - very impressive sound nonetheless. The first time I had seen a 917 in action. Of the truly iconic cars from the 60s/70s I think the GT40 and 917 are at the top.

John - great pictures, especially the on track ones. Just to complete the set attached are the pictures I took of 1020 which was in the Museum until Friday lunchtime and was then moved out into the Heritage Club area.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I am really glad I am able to do this on here. This is a really great forum with real enthusiasts, so I enjoyed doing this even when at Le Mans.
Today I had to instruct at a trackday at Zandvoort (I even did three cautious laps in Lucas van Altena's GTD40 and made it slide round one or two corners), but I will include some more detailed pictures of the original cars. You can never have enough of these when recreating a GT40.

PS. Yes, that 330 P3/4 is #0844 :2thumbsup:

A very original (looking) GT40 that hasn't been restored to concours condition. To me that gives the car "patina".
#1037
What a difference with late chassis #1080, particularly looking at the brakes...
This car stays in the UK for the Australian owner and he allows them to take the car out to special events. Needless to say they took very good care of it and it wasn't raced like some of the front running cars...

Posting While Drunk......done it myself often. Thank God for the "edit" button.....................Perhaps I have been partaking too much of the product that comes out of his "Wine caves" (the cool, undergorund cellars where the magic happens.......)
