TacomanI share your love of LeMans prototypes and GT1 sportscars.
There is not a lot in the way of replica kits available that I have come across. In Kitcar magazine (the US one) there is an ad in the back for a Jag XJ13 at www.sportscarfactory.com
There is a stunning Porsche 917 replica available from Australia, I can't remember the web address at the moment, but it has kraftwerks or something similar in it. (Check the links pages at www.totalkitcar.com).
Of course there is the Cobra replica's, including the coupe, but I suspect your thinking some more modern (I am).
Every once in a while there are rumours of a Mclaren F1 GTR replica, but it never seems to happen.
There is the Ultima, although that isn't a replica of anything, but it's a hot performer apparently.
Maybe the best approach as I think you are in the UK would be to start with one of the "track day" LMP like cars and do a replica body on it.
Personally I'd like to do something modern and LM like, then take it to one of the Targa events that are popping up (ie: www.targanewfoundland.com, or Targa Tasmia, or Targa New Zealand). Would need more ground clearance though....
Feel free to email me if you'd like to have an exchange of ideas.
