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
if i ask nicely can i have a spin in the new one what ever it may be
maybe in the dry this time
dont say the fiat is having the busa fitted already
no u r bang pewe its colour is a replica of the 1969 gt40 car number 6 that won le mans with JACKIE ICKX and JACKIE OLIVER at the wheel
the new car is going 2 b very light as near 2 420kg as poss and 200+ bhp and just a track rat and eccsmk can have aride any time . by the way the gulf colours are light blue & marigold
I have a photograph of a le man winning GT40 that visited our Gulf refinery back in the day, il have to scan it and post it up
awesome paint job btw

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!
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
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
wish i was there 1st time i saw them was in 1975 aged 10 .the only car 4 me ever since
Its a sad day Gaz my little Indy is heart broken now,who's he going to go for a drive with now
