I thought the blue one was a replica because the owner attempted to fix the buckled front with a slegehammer, not something you do to a million pound racecar. (that's my pic on wrecked exotics btw)

spent about the last hour researching this car

its owned by paul thompson

he runs http://www.gt40s.com/ or the forum at least

hes under p.thompson on that site, cant find any photos of his car on there apart from one where someone uploaded a photo of the carshow i went to

http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-enthusiasts-club/39875-manchester-classic-car-show-club-stand.html

they say "Stirling work once again by Pete Thompson to organise the club stand (with the new 50 years of the GT40 banner). Pete's Alloy chassis 7.0 litre car, Kev Farrington's Gulf KVA/GTD and Ege Ferguson's white GTD graced the stand."

http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-enthusiasts-club/39875-manchester-classic-car-show-club-stand.html
so this one (pauls) is the Alloy chassis 7.0 litre car

i searched google under his name and ford gt and found this
http://www.gt40enthusiastsclub.com/christestfiles/BlytonParkTrackSession.html

hes under Pete Thompson, they must of gotten his name wrong or maybe a brother is driving or something

but it says hes driving a Laffey GT40 Mk2 Maroon

The gt42 is 2 inches higher than a gt40 if you look closely there's a bubble on the roof so a taller person can fit in it.
