Jamo,
Yep on the LM MKIV. Built by Kar-Kraft if memory serves. First
all-American LM win. Technically it wasn't even a GT40, but most people
(even me) call it that anyway. I've always though it would have
been cool to have done up the paint scheme with a red car with white/ blue
stripes, blue car with red, white stripes...you get the picture. Much like
the Kjell Kvale Sebring MGBs.
Alan Mann might not have been too keen on the idea as the UK colours are
blue, white, and red instead of the American red, white, and
blue...
but I think it would have been more of a
statement. Especially over that coppery-bronze-with-a-hint-of-maroon #3
I may disagree with you on some stuff, but I remember your comment about
the DBR1 a couple of years ago, and anybody who knows of Jack Sears AC highway terror (and likes it more than the regular Daytonas) is going to be at
least a little bit OK in my book. Perhaps I would take your back.
CdC,
If you're fine with you being a poser - well, good for you.
