Hahaha... Glad somebody got a photo of the car today.

I wanted to get a pic when it came past me.

This was on the A406 / A13 today round 18:45?

I was driving along in my newly painted Sport when this bad boy came past.

I saw your car, was looking at how clean and shiny it was!
I was in the black Ford Focus.
He came of the A406 onto the A12.

Cheers mate! I had just got it back from removing rust on the back wheel arch. But I'm off to buy my cleaning products for the Impreza soon. I want to keep 'Wayne' in tip-top shape. As the previous few owners neglected the car a bit.

The sound the replica gave off had me switch of the stereo to hear it. It was just deep and throaty!

Haha, good to see one finished. I knew Trevor years ago and he was building his first one around 10 years ago. He was a laminator at TVR. I've since lost contact with him.

Lovely cars and rare as hen's teeth, even if that one is only a replica.

According to people who have driven both, the replicas are easier and nicer to drive. The real ones tended to be a bit brutal.

Nearest I've got was sitting in a real one.
Has anyone else sat in a GT70? http://www.bestautophoto.com/images/...d-gt-70-01.jpg

They were going to be the Ford rally car until the RS1800's came good. Then the project was shelved. I saw one at Bristol Street Motors in Birmingham around early 1971.

That one on ebay has been advertised for a long time now.

There doesn't seem to be the money about any more. Ten years ago they were fetching £200,000 and went in days.

I keep seeing one outside a small garage on my way to work, looks like an evo spec, it has the inter cooler above the roof and speed line split rims. Very cool
