In this first episode of Revved UP TV, Paul Hewitt from GT40 Australasia joins us to talk about his passion for #cars, motor racing and the experience with building his CAV (Cape Advanced Vehicles) GT40 replica. This stunning #GT40 wears the iconic Gulf colours with the 1969 Le Mans winning GT40 carrying number 6 livery driven by none other than Jacky Ickx.

I'm a sucker for GT40 builds, and it's an aussie build and production! oh, and that shed... So glad to find you guys at the start of what can only be an upward trajectory. Subbed!

@revved_up Год назад

thank you for your support!

@riothero313 Год назад

It's weird, even as a kid instinctively I loved these cars. I'd have all my Hot Wheels lined up and somehow the GT40 got one of the best parking spots. Then as an adult I got into racing and learned the history and it kind-of cemented it for me; that car is an icon.

@jamesdellaneve9005 Год назад

I am building an RCR GT40. Gonna do the Gulf livery like yours. Great job!

Awesome Good luck! Gulf liveries are the best!

Pure nostalgia. I was a young engineer fresh out of my apprenticeship, but was lucky enough to work in Girling’s (brakes) competition department and actually stuck Girling stickers on a few racing cars like this at race tracks.

Thx for mentioning Jacky Ickx. Belgium F1 driver and also named "Mister Le Mans". BTW super nice GT40 you have !! Greetz from Belgium

@flyinggordonproductions4875 Год назад

I actually first liked trains but then i got to 7 and my dad thought i was too old and he bought me a 49 Mercury toy and my dad he was into cars but he didnt know a lot of them so i started searching up cars and boom i found the ford gt and then i just wanted to build and race cars since then i mean i eventually got back into trains so now i like both The ford gt always fascinated me but more the 64’ GT40 MK2

Jacky’s defiance of the running start was caused by the death of another racer at Le Mans who was in such a hurry to leave he didn’t put on his seat belt and died in a crash.

@geniferteal4178 Год назад

The hardest thing for me is I don't fit. I forget exactly but it was my knees or legs under the dash. The pedal box had a lot of adjustability and probably would have fit me but the dash bar was just too low and there was nothing they could do about it. I never got to struggle over the color. LOL this was at a place in Connecticut in America. I forget which company they were building the complete replicas. I got to sit in one. I guess it's save me a lot of money that I didn't fit

@ostrich67 Год назад

Dan Gurney famously had to have a bump in the roof to make room for his head. I actually watched him trying to get into it at the Monterey Historics. He practically needed a shoehorn to wedge his tall frame inside.

@geniferteal4178 Год назад

@@ostrich67 the bump is helpful and probably necessary for me as well. But that seemed an easier fix than moving the dash bar.

That needs wider tires with white letters in the back to fill those fender wells. Are those 15 inch rims? Not much sidewall showing.

@Driven-Productions Год назад

Good content ended that. Looking at buying a GT40 Superformance now.

@jacksonmarshallkramer5087 3 месяца назад

I'm a fat tire with white letter freak, and I just saw a Superformance Tool Room edition Gulf GT40. It's an exact replica of the race winning car. The clam shell is wider and the tires are wider. The rear tires look like slicks on a drag race car, or a Porsche 917. They are monstrous. Gotta look that up. It's on Superformance's channel

Love the car and colour scheme. Saw a cream coloured one at Beaulieu really liked that too. First time I ever saw one was in 91 when I went to watch Mansell at Silverstone. Never seen a nicer car since. Funny to think back then I didn't even know about it's history just knew I loved the car.

He should have guessed that NO.6 at Goodwood was the REAL DEAL, as that's where storied cars turn up to be DRIVEN. I would not have left that spot 'til I'd found out if it was actually 1075, then begged on hands and knees to touch any part of it !!

Hi mate, how much did you pay for the kit.Most probably Jean Fourie was still the owner of CAV.He also builds amazing V8 beetles.His latest project is AC Cobras with an aluminium Chassis.

Hi, you can email Paul from GT40 Australasia if you're interested in getting one or would like more information. gt40aus@gmail.com

@pdasaro Год назад

@@revved_up I don't understand why pricing is a secret. These sell for 95 to 115k used. So 115k minus 600 hours labor and drive train equals what?

@revved_up Год назад

we don't know too much about the kit, Paul is the one importing the kits. I think it's around 150K. We are just doing interviews with car owners

@pdasaro Год назад
