Don't know if you're local to Benfleet (I used to live there once), but nearby (Basildon) was a company which made some 'follow on' Ford GT40's (I think the co was Walker & Scott or something similar. I don't know what the legal arrangement was, but apparently these cars were the real mccoy monocoque, nut and bolt replicas. Also on Canvey Island I went searching for some GRP supplies once, and had trouble finding the place, so poked my head around the door in an industrial unit to ask the guys ..... who were constructing alloy bodies for Ferrari's! (don't know any more I'm afraid), but their creations looked good.
