Nope, was in Tesco Llandudno JunctionWasn't near Temple in London was it? I just saw one being unloaded from a van but this was white rather than yellow... I'd definitely swop !!

Maybe it was so quick it made it from there to London in record time. No wonder the yellow paint stripped off... would definitely swop for that

The only real GT40 iv seen is when we went to pickup a car for a customer from classic car storage, my jaw nearly hit the floor when i walked in to the warehouse. There was about 50 cars in the building we was in and there was another 2 buildings, once we had the car on the trailer he showed us round the cars that were there and said the Gulf GT40 was an original with le mans history and worth around a million and sitting next to it was an identicial spare Gulf body/chassis also with history that he said was for sale for half a million.
I had never seen 80% of the stuff in there before, things like a Zagato bodied Aston DB7.
This was about 5 years ago now and although it was nice to see, its a shame all these nice cars are sitting around in storage places.
Sam.
I agree and disagree in equal measure... There are some cars that need to be preserved otherwise the only people that could now afford them would be footballers and can you honestly believe that they would look after them?
It would be a disaster to the legacy of some great cars, the Zagato bodied Aston is on the list of cars I have to see before I die!

I would be very interested to know how you could tell it was a genuine GT40 from looking in your rear view. The only way I've been able to tell from the outside is by looking at the tax diskI've seen a genuine GT40 out on the road about four years ago near Bishops Stortford.
I almost crashed whilst trying to watch it in my rearview mirror.

Rob, the replicas are brilliant too Owners go to great lengths to make them look as authentic as possible. Just thought you had some secret way of telling the difference.
Think I may have got sucked in by the sound and the stripes!

It happens to the best of us
I would love to see a proper gt40, but sadly i doubt it will ever happen
