Anyone see this last night? (22nd March, Channel 5)

Seriously considering building a GT40 replica now.....

Anyone else tried and care to shed some light on how to get started?

i presume you need to find a kit manufacturer and then find out what donor car you need or if it is built from the ground up.

A big project but I bet it is worth it.

 

One guy said his cost 15k to build himself, seems very cheap

 

Don't know too much about them, but having read kit car magazines for the last 10 years the most popular one seems to be the GTD40 by GTD Supercars.

You regularly see them advertised for between about £18K and £30K secondhand. You could try the GT40 Owners Club as mentioned on the program.

 

>>>shed some light

Hope you end up with more light than shed

 

Heres a starting point for you...........

Been looking at this for past 4 months, was ready to pick one up when the bloke selling decided to keep it (& failed to have the courtesy to ring & tell me), your best bet is to buy one ready built cause you're looking at 20k+ to build one yourself & average build time is 4 years. http://www.gt40s.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi is the best place to go.
Is a nightmare finding any 2nd hand ones under 20k at the mo & those who do come up for sale seem to get sold within days.
GTD are no longer trading either.

Great programme.

Who else has phoned the number to try to win the car?

The less that phone the more chance I have

 

Oi, don't phone [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I'm winning that car! It's mine!

 

What was the question?

 

Where is Le Mans?

France

or

Italy.

Ive phoned, and for anybody else considering phoning, IT'S ITALY

 

sorry chaps.

I've already booked Monday off work to receive it
