as above any 1 know?

 

If it dissolves in water it's fake

 

If it passes you at 180?

 

 

log book?

 

Sorry mate.

Nah really, the GT40 kit is one of those really accurate ones that have been around for years. As the car was made (officially) in such small numbers the kit's sprung up...

Aren't there any GT40 sites (similar to say the RSOC) who could list out the exact details?

Ferrari Dino kits are like these - buggers to tell apart.....

 

ok thanks m8 i was just wondering dont know alot about then

i take it this ones real?

 

More or less impossible to tell from that picture....

I couldnt tell a real from a fake i dont think

 

well i deffo cant

 

dads mate has 1 in gulf colours, he just uses it for track dads really nice tho

 

And I thought you were talking about turbos

Nope, no idea what the tell tell signs would be. Engine ?

 

Go up and tap it, if it is fibre glass it is a fake, if it is metal, it is almost 100% likely to be real. However, there are some REALLY good replicas out there that are identical to the real thing barring the fibre-glass body, so is very difficult to tell if it isn't on an age related plate (that shows it being newer than late 60s) .

Also the price tag will give it away (if it's for sale), as the genuine ones go for Ł750k .

 

does he work for the csa too...................

 

If you see one one the road its likely to be a Rep, real ones are too rare and expensive to be out and about.

 

i can vouch for the quality of the replica's, just been to the stoneleigh kit car show this weekend. damn there is some good looking cars there..the gt replica's spot on.

now i wanna buy me a dax rush......after i get the focus rs first though.

 

Check the chassis number.

The real ones have the chassis number stamped onto a plate at the top of the "b" pillar on the off side. Most copy's don't have this - or if they do the plate is fake and easy to spot.

There were 2 that looked exactly like that pic at the national kit car show last weekend Not really sure but I think one had a Fiat twin cam engine in

 

Perhaps not...
