    Built to be driven. A quality re-creation of the original Ford GT40 that beat Ferrari, famously sweeping the top three positions in the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966 and again in 1967 with the GT40 MKIV. In 1968 and 1969, GT40 MKI number 1075 became the only race car to win Le Mans for two consecutive years. In developing our exhilarating GT40 continuation, our engineers went to great lengths to ensure authenticity. It is NOT a kit car or replica, it is a genuine continuation GT40. The Superformance GT40 MKI, MKII and GT40 R competition are numbered with the original GT40-P chassis numbers and are listed in the Shelby Car World Registry and official GT40 registry. The GT40 continuation is built to exacting standards - in fact over two thirds of the parts in the rolling chassis are interchangeable with that of the original, including the ‘monocoque’ style chassis. The Superformance GT40 also boasts a pressed steel roof and beautifully finished body. Current models offered are the MKI and MKII which are available in right and left hand drive, as well as the GT40/R Competition. Add your choice of power (big or small block ) with a ZF/RBT transaxle, and prepare yourself for extreme satisfaction and the ultimate in styling. *Specifications subject to change without notice. Standard features. • A complete factory assembled rolling chassis. • Show quality paint finishes with many standard colors. • Fully independent front and rear suspension. • Bilstein® coil over progressive shocks with performance Springs®. • Four-wheel vented disc brakes, Wilwood 4-piston calipers.

  • Jaguar Inside Stories from Two New Books TWR and Jaguar's XJS by Allan Scott
    News/offers from Paul Skilleter and PJ Publishing March 2013 You have been sent this e-mail because you are a customer/subscriber/enquirer or you asked for our newsletter. If you do not wish to receive our news, simply reply to this newsletter with the word 'Unsubscribe' as the subject line (not in the body of the message please) http://www.paulskilleterbooks.co.uk/ Jaguar inside stories from two new books I am always intrigued by motoring 'inside stories', that is, books written by people in the industry who were actually deeply involved with the cars or projects they are writing about. In Jaguar terms, there have not been very many. In fact, if you disregard racing drivers like Duncan Hamilton and Stirling Moss (none of whom actually worked for Jaguar full time), up until last year the only book which was devoted solely to Jaguar topics, and was written by someone who worked there, was our own title on XJ13 (still available from us, of course). This was penned by Peter Wilson who was a competitions department staff member from 1961 to 1966. But correct me if I have forgotten someone else! Quite recently, however, two excellent books have appeared which both give first-hand accounts of how two very important and exciting Jaguars were developed. One tells of how Tom Walkinshaw created the all-conquering, ETC- winning XJ-S, and the other continues a TWR theme by describing how the magnificent 200mph+ XJ220 evolved from essentially a static show car to a highly effective supercar. We are very pleased to offer these books, which I describe below in more detail.
