There has been some discussion in the past regarding several replica manufacturers building a Spyder (Roadster) version GT40.
I know the history of the few early CAV cars and I know Fran Hall (RCR) has built a few in the past.
Is there anything new to report? I think if existing molds could be modified for a more open car, I think a lot of guys like me---non-racers---but lovers of the GT40 would be interested.
As a 6 ft.2 guy, I simply do not want a car with a Gurney bubble, fixed side windows, and the necessity of a removeable steering wheel. Too claustrophobic!
ERA has a prototype, but Peter will not even quote a price; which seems rather self-defeating.
I figured I would go the 2005/06 Ford GT route to find a better "fitting" car but their prices are ever moving upwards.
I'm afraid I will have to move to the "dark side", a 63 Corvette GrandSport replica to provide the room and more importantly, the enjoyment of the car.
Any thoughts?
