904 replica

[geeeman]

Would like a midengined coupe replica of a classic design

The beck 904 looks very nice. Anyone have any experience of these cars, and would it be possible to IVA over here??

[GTRene]

The Beck 904 looks indeed good, its a more 'modern' version by chassis (stainless and different) Beck himself has a very special one with a GT3 engine :-) those Beck cars can be used for trackdays very well, his son races such car.
Prices seem to be ok for a 904 replica.

Don't know if Martin & Walker Technic 904-GTS still making those cars, those are more like the real deal build and UK based...prices not bad at all, at least a few years back, those are really lovely made, there was a great example on sale a year or 2 back on auction, went for big money, looked the deal, this one>

















I would like to own one some day as well, sadly a bit pricy those days, but really lovey cars.

its a good candidate, but I think its already there? but it would not harm to see it again :-)

Any replicas manufactures making turnkey cars for under 50k?

The matrin walker is 60 plus vat for rolling chassis

I believe a Beck car does, don't know if they still do though.

hm, I try to email martin and walker via http://www.technic-motorsport.com and [e-mail] but got my email back...

it says: I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

so...does that mean they don't make them anymore? did they sell all stuff to make those 904?

I just spoke to Martin and Walker for you, They can be called on the phone number on the website or emailed at [e-mail]. They still make the replica but there is currently a 3 year waiting list apparently.

Thnx for sharing this information. Need to learn where these guys are located and see if a visit is possible.

Cool and great to hear they still make them, thanks,
also for the mail, I can now forward my mail with questions (no hurry) to them.
3 year waiting list...oeps.

Wondering how much deposit these guys require.

Think approx 75 k plus vat (without engine or gearbox)

on their web page it still said 60.000 gbp last week I checked, although it looks like they now changed something, can not find it back somehow.

Since i posted this i did acquire a mid engined classic
Its a Dare Ginetta g16, so no gt40 or 904 for me.
Will try post some pics

Really cool! What made you go for the G16? Pictures and experiences very much welcome. Such a car does deserve its own topic by the way.

[Nerdherder]

Ah you've already made one I see now: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

that one is from 2010? this thread started at 2017 I believe, so its not after this thread started :-)
sadly the pictures don't work there anymore...would be nice a G16 hardtop/coupe, I'm not such 'without' roof type.

G4 is also nice the G12 even more, but I guess all even more empty/pure? then even a pure 904 gts, so perhaps also even more noises outside the engine sound?
