Saw these on the Coast last Sunday (most likely replicas) ..... quite interesting to see so many together.... obviously a club, but there was no one around to ask q's :)

Great classics there Tfer........
One thing I absolutely love about those is the AWESOME V8 rumble they have :)
There is nothing out there in terms of auto engines that sounds as good as a sweet V8 engine revving away........ :)

I'm surprised that Clarkson can fit in his GT40!
Awesome machine though.

I wonder how many of those aren't replicas.
Saw this one at a New Years car display last week...

Still good, but never as good as an original. I'm just an old fashioned purist. lol

yeah me too... but if there is very little hope of getting an original... a replica will do.

The GT40 Is Genuine from memory.
Its a Ex Dan Gerney Le Mans Race Car.
A few Years ago I went to "Speed On Tweed" in Tweed Heads & It was there.
That one Pictured could be a "Roaring Forties" Replica, But the One @ Speed On Tweed was Genuine.
Edit: The one Pictured is a Replica, Its doesn't have Knock Off Hubs.
Same as the AC Matt Pictured, Its a Robnell Replica.

Yeah very true Wraith, and not to commit to anysides or anything, love the sound of a windsor or cleveland in full song :dance:

My friend was amazed at how low the GT40 really was :eek:
