Real or Replica?

[Rich A]

I thought all original GT 40 where RHD.
Here's a picture of GT40P 1069.

Is this a real or a replica?

Not quite sure what you are asking but that car looks RHD to me.

Hi,

From looking at the picture it appears from the wiper position this is a RHD car. The wiper post is right of center as opposed to the LHD cars where the wiper post is left of center.

Correct?

The drive is on the left side of the GT.

And in this picture if you look closely there's no one on the right side.

Is it just me?
I've tried looking for other picture of 1069, But it doesn't seem to be a popular GT.

Rich,

Look a little closer on the second picture link you posted. You can see the top of the steering wheel. Its a RHD car. May want to do a little more research on this soon.

I am sure if you Google the subject, you may find several books available to help you build on your knowledge of the marque.

There were original LH drive MK III's. (2 I believe)

 

[Gary Kadrmas]

Using Ronnie Spains "GT40" book as a guide:

GT40 MkIII as follows:

1101 = Orig LHD Prototype
1102 = Orig RHD Prototype
1103 = RHD
1104 = LHD
1105 = LHD
1106 = LHD
1107 = RHD
1108 = RHD
1109 = Bare MkIII Chassis - RHD
1110 = Replacement chassis for Don Davis original P1012 - Not a MkIII
1111 = Bare MkIII Chassis - LHD
1112 = Bare MkIII Chassis - LHD
1113 = Bare MkIII Chassis - LHD
1114 = Kit of Chassis parts - RHD

Hope this is of some value to you folks.
