It would if it was a RF GT40, considering all the sheet metal work required, they are a lot more work than a DRB.

Roaring Forties has already been moved into a new premises by the new owners. You can see the updated contact details on their web page:
http://www.roaringforties.com.au/contactus.html

Here is a link to the creditors report from GT40s.com web site:
Roaring Forties Notice & Report to Creditors 13.04.06.pdf

They did successfully manufacture & export a couple of GT40's from the South African plant(CAMCO). And have a few other cars in various stages of completion. Looks like these have been sold to an Aus buyer.

Not good news for the industry as a whole. This will definitely have a negative effect on GT40 Australia(DRB) as well, in particular their GT40 exports.

It will be a real struggle for the re-born Roaring Forties and they will not survive if they can sell only to the Aus market. DRB have the advantage of also doing Cobra's.
