Look on the bright side - you got all that joy to come building another one.
Like the paint job - most people think that's Gulf Porsche colours but IIRC it was GT40's that won le Mans in those colours (or is my memory fading?).
Cheers, Pewe

mad gaz - 10/6/08 at 06:05 PM

I didn't even see this car up for sale? Shame as I'm in the market for one of these cars at the moment. Where did you advertise it? Maybe there are some more on there that have totally passed me by!


mad gaz - 10/6/08 at 07:16 PM

the car was 4 sale on piston heads bec section but keep your eyes open there may be an other very high spec indy R comeing up 4 sale soon


pewe - 10/6/08 at 07:32 PM

Gaz, thought my memory wasn't getting that bad.
In fact the weekend after le Mans they paraded them at Mallory still with all the muck and dirt they'd gathered during the race.
Makes my hairs stand on end just remembering the awesome thunder as they circulated!
Cheers, Pewe


mad gaz - 10/6/08 at 07:40 PM

Ah right I missed it somehow. Will keep an eye out for this Indy R coming up. If you know who's selling it any chance you could get them to PM me when it comes up for sale.

Cheers

That's exactly what I'm after too. Something so rapid that it almost tears your cheeks off. I can't help feeling I wouldn't get that with a Fireblade or similar setup.
