OK,

I do own an SPF. A great car, and I'm very happy with it.

Things to consider:
1. Getting in and out is not that easy, but once you're in, I find it very comfortable, even on long trips (the pedals ARE adjustable).
2. It can get hot inside. Make sure the AC is working. Even better, get the car well insulated. There are kits for this.
3. Some of the early cars had issues with the brakes/balance bar, and electrical issues. These can all be fixed, but you need to ask.
4. At least one high-mileage car has suffered a suspension support failure (as posted above). There are kits to reinforce this area. Most people probably won't have to worry about this unless they put a LOT of miles on the car, or regularly track it.
.6 Visit GT40s.com. A very good resource for all things GT40.
7. Be prepared to be mobbed by scantily clad ladies half your age. They just can't seem to get enough of these cars (just checking to see if you're paying attention)
