  1. A bit of inspiration for you guys hard at it A former 250 GTO owner put together this wonderful short film on his experiences: www.carandgarage.com/watch.php?v_id=1066 along with the following article: www.ferrarilife.com/library/view_article.php?id=3 He is also discussing his experiences: www.ferrarilife.com/forums/showthread.php?p=62350#... It's all evocative stuff - some nice comparisons of the varying details of the cars showing that there is no 'standard' layout! Seems once the GTO's in your blood it never washes out.
  2. Actually it's built already, LOL! I wish I could say Norwood but it's a Noble P4 - there are a couple your side of the pond. A few trim bits to do but built and owned by a race team manager - everything, but everything is aeroquiped and seems to have back up systems. I haven't seen one jubilee clip yet, lol! Alledged to have hit 185 at Rockingham Speedway over here *gulp*
  3. So long guys and best of luck with all your builds - I found 'my' car in the end, it's just not a GTO though. It is from the same stable and decade of endurance racing though - a Ferrari P4 replica - picking it up on Friday and can't wait. Best, Scott
  4. Congratulations Chelle - nice bit of recognition for all the hard work. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/24/replica-mutt-nissan-280z-based-ferrari-260-gto-with-a-bmw-v12/
  5. Scratch the UK - you can buy L539s from finish line in the states http://www.finishlineaccessories.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3&products_id=181 Amber, red or clear @ $29 each - that's better!
  6. L539's look like an easily available, very close bet - the lens shape is very acurate but needs the 4 little wings grinding off (only plastic so should be achievable). Doesn't have the two external screws though.
  7. Well now those are what's on that red GTO - which just happens to be in Holland! obviously there's a supply of those lights kicking around there. L691 lights on a Scorpion GTZ (most UK cobras use these as front indicators) :
  8. Zerrari I don't think these are L539s but they're damn close - so it gives you some idea.
  9. BFO - don't worry, was only really after a quick "yes still looks the biz" type thing - wasn't after detail Not sure how Ian will take an email from a POM - When I was selling my cobra I had a couple of mails from Germany which to be fair I never treated as particularly serious. Just double checking with DVLA here that I'm not going to get into any SVA wrangles (SVA's a test applied to kit built and radically altered cars and it can be a nightmare) - that could spell the death knell for any importation.
  10. Pictures!!! Hey Speed, whilst getting quotes for car shipping from USA and Australia look what I found http://www.rjjfreight.co.uk/htm/Vehicle.htm About halfway down the page on RHS - now doesn't that look familiar?!! See? Your car is destined to come to the UK! (seriously, if you'd consider sale let me know)
  11. Cheers BFO - seems to be a straight 6 turbo soarer donk. I've mailed Ian - waiting to hear back. Just out of interest, have you seen the car recently? From the article on site it looks like it was done in 1999 so wondering whether it's beginning to show it's age.
  12. Got quotes coming in for shipping from US - perhaps I should get some quotes for Oz as well (RHD is a bonus). Really does sound a good deal from these shores anyway - I guess it was the ID kit? Are there any Ozzie web sites I should keep an eye on for potential goats? Cheers PS Love the 260 2+2 with roo bars on it! PPS That cobra made all it's money - not particularly nice imho
  13. I can't believe this sold for $36K AUS - that's only £15K!!! Oh well, at least I'm finally ready for whatever comes up next now my cobra's sold....
  14. Not necesarily the right place to post I know but as this is the GTO thread....I'm now ready to buy a GTO rep - yes I'm based in the UK but I'd be happy to import the right car Looking specifically for door lock (trunk'd would be nice but not essential) converted car, cheers Scott
