Be nice to Marc...

 

He's in the sleeper cab of his Freightliner tonight near Tamworth.

 

I'm sure it would have a heater, he'll be needing it, it's probably around five degrees right now and falling.

Thanks a lot Mark! I have just emailed him to get news of his 47 with great history.

Thanks again Mark, I have been able to get in touch with Richard. I don't know if he is still on this forum.

Just for news of 47GT03, Richard says "it is still pretty much as I bought it in 2009, although I have spent considerable time and money sourcing the missing parts, so it is virtually complete but unassembled". He will work on it when time permits but it is a considerable task.

Some news on a few 47's which are for sale at the moment including two fully race ready :

 

In the UK ex-works car 47GT04/78 is still for sale at Charles Leight Ltd.
In Italy there is 47GT21 which was raced recently by Franco Pedrazzi

Also

In Denmark 47GT73 restored but without engine
In Belgium 47GT77 still for ale at Vanderveken cars

At least 4 cars in Europe, this is not bad given the scarcity of the 47!

 

As a reminder, I am looking for any information about 47's all around the world. Thanks in advance if there is any owner here or have any information.

Some pictures of 47GT13 when raced at Silverstone Classic 2017. Very nice car well constructed, FVA engine and other upgrades.
