Africa40 design and build turn-key replica GT and turn-key minus cars for road or racing. Cars are individually built by Brandon Shaw, with utmost attention to detail and performance, resulting in a truly handcrafted authentic replica. This intimate hands-on workmanship results in a GT with its own unique personality, style and sound created to perfection and according to customer preference.
Passionate about the car, Brandon Shaw sculptured, engineered and built his first replica GT in record breaking time, producing something close to the original and with spectacular results. Only one week after completion of this first car, it was sold to a German enthusiast. This prompted him to build more.
Africa40 GT replicas can be found on roads in Italy, Germany, Spain and South Africa. They have raced at the Nürburgring and Hockenheim racetracks in Germany, been used for "hill climbing" expeditions, excursions and rides in scenic areas. The Africa40 GT is attractive, fun, loud, sleek, exciting and thrilling to drive.
