GTD40 – A Piece of History

GTD40 – A Piece of History

Motorsport, News
Recently, we were sent a pair of turbos that needed servicing as part of an engine rebuild of a bespoke, twin turbo 4.6 V8 Rover engine, an engine that the Turbo Dynamics MD, Peter Marsh, had a lot of history with. Back in 1995, the late Tony Marsh, father of our MD Peter, built a GT40 replica, the GTD40 Mk2 Coupe, a car that has been described as “a thoroughbred in every sense”.

One of the people to buy and run with an MD555 is Justin (aka Jay) Rush who tested the turbo on his 2.3-litre JDM spec. engine. When the dust had settled and the map had been tweaked, Justin…
