No, I am talking about an SPF MK II owned by a certain Grady XXXXX with a custom rod linkage using bellcranks and Heim joints to transfer the motion.
And no original MK IIs were LHD. The only LHD FAV/JWA cars were MK IIIs.
All original GT40s were rod linkage including the LHD MK IIIs. The LHD MK III linkage was "tortured" at best making the way around the engine. That is why SPF went to cable for the LHD cars
