2013 KCC GT40 MK1
Registered correctly with the DVLA as a ‘KCC GT40’, this replica was imported from South Africa in 2023 by its current owner and proudly wears the legendary 1969 Gulf livery, paying homage to the iconic Le Mans-winning GT40 #1076.
The KCC GT40 is South Africa’s interpretation of the renowned KVA design, developed in the 1980s by Ken Vincent Atwell – an ex-Ford engineer who obtained permission to take moulds directly from an original GT40. KCC (Kit Car Centre) acquired the license to produce these replicas in Johannesburg, staying true to the car's celebrated DNA.
