Ford GT40 spotted

[sandwich]

I see...well, I saw a roaring forties GT somewhere today, and the hood scoop pattern is identical...but who cares...the replicas are so nice. I saw two gt40's at watkin's glen a year ago...great looking car, one was a gold mk2 i think, the other a racing mk1.

At the Goodwood Revival 05 there were 8 in one race but they were only 289s (4.7litre) not 427s (7litre) but still, they were absolutely rapid. And the noise they made....!

Hey Guys I was at Oulton Park racetrack on Monday when I came across this beautiful Ford GT40 in the Car park. This baby is so beautiful in the flesh and is definatly my dream car.

I saw one racing at Donnington in a Classics race a few years ago. I assumed it was a replica, as they're so rare and the guy was driving it, well, very badly. I can't imagine the owner of a real GT40 would allow it to be thrown around like this guy was throwing it around. (He kept losing it on the long right-hander at the end of the start/finish straight ... EVERY LAP!! - yup - he's in the gravel again ... *yawn* )

there were five at the last Silverstone Classic, one driven by Jackie Oliver, one by Adrian Newey (his own car) the blue one posted driven by John Hugenholtz, five times winner of the modern Tour Auto, also with this car, and two more...

It is a kit car - the wheels are not original, but definately a top manufactured one!! IMHO.
