After years off looking for the right car, and with many thanks to Adams Hudson, I am now the proud owner of Mangusta number 1114 and an even longer to-do list than ever before!

Congratulations! She looks like the sister of mine!
I'm very happy for you, Mark!
They are beautiful cars. How long do you estimate it'll take you to finish? Are you going to keep it yellow?
I look forward to seeing it in person.
Good luck with it!

Awesome trio, dude. I'm coming to see the new yellow!!
Great going Mark. Hey, no credit to me, I was just the messenger. To get that car to your level, you'll need all the credit you can spare!
It's gonna be great, and greatly rewarding.

Congrats Mark!!! It looks great!!
Why is there no door on your GT40?????
(Just kinda funny because there is also no
drivers door on mine at the moment!)

Beautiful! I'm so envious. I love the single headlight version in yellow - best looking combination on a Mangusta IMO. Keep the pictures coming!
Wow - Beautiful collection Mark!
Thanks for the support Guys.
I'm just glad you're only seeing small pictures and have no real idea what a pile of work I'm in for! It does look better in pictures, trust me!
Dennis, yes, she is your cars's sister being 3rd or 4th away on the line, but essentially identical. Twins???
Michael, Garth, Not sure about color at this point. I've always preferred the more subdued GT colors like a smokey gray-blue or perhaps the same Tobacco color that Steve McQueens Ferrari Lusso was painted. I figure it will be years before I need to decide.
Ron, I have completely stripped and re-done my hideous GTD interior and pending my completion of the new center console and a few other little items, the doors are off for ease of access. Must say it is MUCH more fun to drive that way too, but does have a rather unfinished look about it. I'm a bit behind on updating my website, but you can see some of the GT40 progress here:

Eventually I will be adding the Mangusta as well.

Think Coyote, as in 'Hardcastle and McCormick'

Nah, one GT40-style Ford racer is enough, believe me. I'm all out of room, way out of time and if I was ever to get all my projects done I'd be way out of money too. If I wasn't, maybe an XJ13 for those sunny days. Besides, I think an F3L is too long for my garage.

Sorry Mark I just saw this post. But what a great car. I guess the pay in Canada must be better then in the good ole USA!! Nice find.
