RCR GT40 BR. SUND. N

[Bjørn-Tore Rosenvinge]

Hi everyone.
Time to start this thread.
I am a 63 year old man from Helgeland in Norway, with a little over average interest in fast cars. Ordered my RCR GT40 Deluxe package 04.04.24 through a local car repair company.
Got a message from Bill at RCR a week ago that the kit was ready. He also sent over a couple of pictures.
I have started the collection and expect the kit to be picked up from RCR at the end of the week. Since it will be shipped all the way to Norway it will probably take some time before I have the kit at home, but hopefully before the holidays.
I have also acquired a used G96 gearbox that I will use.
I acquired a new 302 Blue Print engine 1 year ago.
I probably won't be the one who posts the most here on the forum, but there will be some updates during the build process.

Some specifications:

Right-hand drive.
Single nose.
2`` wider rear fender flares.
Halibrand 17`` rims.
Small block Ford clutch pack.

Thanks Jean-Marc and France. I've been looking at your build log in RCR/SLC and following the progress of your build. I look forward to following you further and please post more pictures and updates of the build.

Hello Bjorn, are you planning on a street-legal or track-only car? In any case, best of luck and enjoy the build!

Thanks Walter. It will be a street legal car. Really looking forward to starting the build.

Street legal? Is it as straight-forward as indicated in this link:

Is it easy to get a licence for a kit car in Norway ?

indeed, may be very different between Sweden and Norway ? ....

According to current legislation, it is easy to get an amateur build approved in advance as long as you comply with the regulations. You must first get a preliminary approval, and then you can start after the Norwegian Motor Vehicle Inspectorate (SFOOR) has seen the build kit. They must follow up the build with at least one more garage visit, where they stamp the chassis number. Finally, there is completion approval and registration. It is approximately the same procedure and legislation in Sweden as well.

Not much difference. We have the same legislation and the same procedure.

Bjorn, you are living in a nice country, in France, this is now impossible, and on top of this with a 5 liter or more engine we have a 60k€ taxe to pay for the first registration if your car is younger than 30 years.
