Interesting.. and interested.

but what's the guarantee that this one won't end up half finished in a box in my shed like the mustang did due to lack of deliveries and hard to get back issues and many many missing issues through the run...

Hey, shoot me a PM with your details. Oz ran into problems specifically because of Bissett, but you shouldn’t have been left hanging. I’ll see if I can help get you sorted.

Hi All,

I’ve literally just received a response to my question regarding the electronic features.

It “fer shure” will have functional head, and tail lights. I’ve asked about sound as well, and haven’t heard back on that.

I’ll update as soon as I hear back.

*******Update: it will also include “Authentic Ford GT engine sound”*****

Thanks for the reply mark. Think I'm deffo going for this build then. Cant believe they left this info off on the website, pretty major features I feel. Might have to think about extra lighting though, dash etc..... hmmm 🤔🤔

There's also really great Haynes Ford GT40 manual available.

Annoyingly, it's currently high-price everywhere at the moment yet around eighteen months ago it was FIFTY PENCE in The Works shops...Cursing
