Defunct Manufactuer - Old RF Company
Well the cat did come out of the bag a little early as I hopped to set the release on 1 Feb.
The short and sweet answer is that I have, over the last 8 months, been working with South Africa and in particular a 'young man' called Robbie Senekal in Cape Town. I was told many times about Robbie from MANY sources of his total dedication, his quality of his work and most of all his intregity. Well we now have a shop in Cape Town, is moving into a larger one next week and all is progressing well with the builds of the first TWELVE cars (8 to the US and 4 to the UK).
The first thing I hear is what about quality control, well I have visited Robbie's shop, I have seen first hand his work and that of the staff he is bringing in for the project and have been more than impressed in the standards of the workThe car are NOT changing, they will remain a Roaring Forties GT40 replica and the parts will be the same specifications of the original Roaring Forties. We are using the same break rotors and puting our AP Racing upgrade as STANDARD. We are including all the things that you all want on your cars again as standard. Things like air conditioning, leather, cross-over exhausts and pin drive wheels. We are also including all the 'stuff' required to put the car together such as brackets and belts for the a/c compressor and alternator and the compressor and alternator as well. The engine adaptor, clutch, flywheel, starter motor, evan an engine stabiliser are all included.
I believe that it is easier to tell what is NOT included :
The battery is not included nor is the ignition system (coil and leads). The engine and box are not included. The inlet manifold and carby are not included but the fuel system including pump and filter are included. The fuel system is designed to be easily converted to a full race injection system (a swirl tank is included).
All fluids such as gearbox and engine oils are not included and paint raw materials for the paint job are not included in the quick build or deluxe kits.
I think the easiest thing to say is that it is a COMPLETE kit and I hope that the completeness is considered when you choose your kit to buy.
A full specifications is at our web site at www.roaringforties.com.au
Best wishes,
Robert
