I live in Cape Town where the CAV's are manufactured. I personally know the owner (Jean Fourie) and have been to the factory for a tour of the production facility. These cars are both designed and assembled to an extremely high standard, components being custom designed and built exclusively for CAV and not "borrowed" from a donor supply. The attention to finish and quality is exacting, what further impressd me was talking to the work team on the shop floor and one guy summed it up...."I look forward to coming to work each and every day".

I cannot coment on driving as I am a Cobra driver, but the engineering in these cars is top quality. We regularly drive with Jean and other local GT40 owners. Jean is an excellent guy who is fully committed to promoting and supporting their product. I know that he will be glad to answer queries direct and their website is easy to find www.cav.co.za
