Quality-wise, which GT40 you prefer: CAV or SPF?

[Mark IV]

They are ALL nice cars!

The SPF has had more press regarding "issues"....this is due to the "original" type construction, FAV didn't build "exotic luxury" cars, they built race cars that COULD be street driven if you have a sense of humor!

As SPF has now built almost twice the number of 1960s FAV/JWA cars there are sure to be more mentions of issues and leaks. No one to my knowledge has factory built the number of chassis that have come from SPF to date so it is logical that more mentions of issues/problems/concerns have been posted.

Are there cars with more room? Yes. Are there cars with more contemporay suspension design? Yes. Are there cars with modern aero aids, splitters, tunnels, etc.? Yes. Are they "GT40s'? No, and that is the difference. The mostly period construction makes the car less "modern" but damn fun!!!!!

Let me first say that I am 6'2+ and I have tons of room in my SPF. You just have to move the pedals down in the foot box in the last bolt holes built into the chassis. I also had an inch of the seat foam removed on the back and bottom which still leaves plenty of comfort. It is an extremely comfortable car to drive and very well mannered.

Thanks for the plug Rodknock! Car is still for sale.
