Don't worry, Pete - you're not alone.

Can't help feeling it's not quite up to spec for a GT40 rep in some departments, though...

Must be slow as f--k with all that weight in the wheels. Also the suspension must be taking a hammering with the sprung weight...... (DOES LOOK COOL :oops: :oops: :oops: )

Aargh! That must be the worst so far.....but hang on - looks like it may have a turbo in there as well - could be ridiculously rapid - still looks shite though.....front shock might be mounted wrong way up too.... :oops:

This I actually quite like ... it looks the part, somehow. And from what Terry says, it's quite cleverly engineered too.

No, don't think so - there's a rather vile air filter straight on top of the carb, sort of an oval thing with holes round the edge, so I can't see where any turbo would be.

There's a shiny CPD in what must be the breather hose - are you thinking that's part of it?

The two-tone Barkas camper's rather tasty, though.

I saw it at La vie en bleu a few years ago,the engine and gearbox is fitted backwards in the middle so the fan is by the bulkhead and has sprockets bolted in place of each drive shaft which then drives the gearbox at the front via big chains.The rear bodywork was the end of a tiger moth wing or some other old plane.
