It's a replica, but that is a sexy, sexy piece of gear!

That's a fair whack... 7500rpm in top gear with a 2.77 diff... :P

At least you don't need to worry about accidents - if someone pulls out in front of you, you wouldn't see them until you passed through them...

It may be one of those Roaring Forties kit cars built at Dromana Vic.
They are recognised as the best built kit cars GT 40 outside America and have won numerous awards.
