F40 in the workshop

[Sean d]

Well almost, my boss and I built this replica over 20 years ago, we lost interest and it was put away in a corner to collect dust, as he is retiring in April we need to clean the workshop out so we dug it out today, he wanted to cut it up and skip it but I stepped in and decided that I am going to put it back together one last time, just started setting it up today, I will get the rest on during the week, it brought back some great memories, we started with a mark 1 cavalier shell and built the F40 out of ply and then coated it with plaster, many hours later we made the molds

So will it ever be driven Sean or are you just looking to complete the shell

No mate, its going to be cut up and binned, I'm just clapping it together so I can see it one last time, it looks good when its all together.

 

[Low Rider]

It seams and shame to bin it but it'll interesting to see it complete

I could always bang it on E bay

Oh, come on, I am sure someone would buy that......

It would be a big project, or maybe a promotional item, fixed on a pub wall or something,

Do a Banksy and stick it on the roof of your workshop......

Large gaming console, couple of seats and couple of monitors in the windscreen

eBay is worth a try.

Whack that on eBay. Some nutter will buy it

Yes, I mentioned that today, all you need is the front half with a couple of bucket seats in it.

And small capacity twin turbo V8 behind for the sounds, smell and vibration just to improve the gaming experience of course..

Put it loosely together today, I am going to put it on Ebay tonight, I really dont want to cut it up.

 

[Grumps]

Definitely the right choice mate. Would be a terrible shame to see it turned to dust.

It looks really nice complete. It would be a shame to cut it up.

I can't imagine for one minute that it will sell and in my opinion it is a very very long shot.

 

[Grumps]

Agreed but advertised in a more specialised place I think it would fly away.

 

[Ianmc]

Perhaps the Top Gear folks could turn it into a boat?

There is a member on here who is going to get one hell of a stiffy when he sees that spoiler.....

Agreed but advertised in a more specialised place I think it would fly away.

I think it would cost over £1000 000 for a genuine one, someone with an engineering back ground could probably put it on the road for £25k
