Please Help Me Find This Car

My Dads best friend built this car probably eight years ago now. I was lucky enough to see the project from start to finish. It has all Porsche drivetrain, and was built by Nicky Orme. I am trying to find the current owner of the car. If you know he/she please forward my contact info or provide me with some.

Which country? You'll forgive me I'm sure, but that scene looks very "English" and yet you are posting from the USA.

 

Yes, sorry, forgot to mention that part. The car was built in Romford Essex, England. I was born and raised there before moving to the states when I was 16. This car is an incredible piece. The engineering that went into this car is incredible. As far as I know, this is the only GT40 in existance with Porsche drivetrain. Email me if you want to see all the pics.

Thanks again,

Craig.

Okay here are some more

Graig, post them up, we'd like to see what it looks like. Never seen a 40 with a flat six, sort of sacrilege if you ask me, but might be cool to see. Once some of the folks here see the chassis they can probably tell you what sort of replica it is which will give you some more clues. And don't be disappointed if the general readership here is not overly impressed - there are some pretty incredbile builds that happen on this site and you might want to have a look around - most GT40s are a pretty incredible piece of engineering to the uninitiatied.

Someone in England must know where this car is?

I'm impressed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I would like to meet this man. A true Jekell and Hyde /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Sure looks like he was torn between Ford and Porsche /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I like it. The guy had a vison of what he wanted and actually completed it. It's hard to understand why he sold it. I don't think he was trying to build a GT40. I think he did his own thing and customized it to favor cars of the sixties like the Porsche 904 and the GT. You can see by the added scoops and vents that's what he was thinking. It was a good exercise in design.
I hope you find it.

I agree. To each his own. So long as it's well executed
I can appreciate it.

It is definitely different. Not my cup of tea but if the motor makes some decent power then it'll do real well since the cg looks to be low. Like to see it run!

Imagine what it would look like with a Porsche 910 body.
