Ford GT40 by GTDevelopments (GB) in perfect condition! Very rare left hand drive car with German registration documents of 1965 H-Kenzeichen! Finished in the famous heritage Gulf colours! The GT 40 is a high-performance mid engined racing car originally designed and built for and by the Ford Motor Company to compete in 1960s European endurance races. Its specific impetus was to beat Ferrari, which had won the prestigious 24H Le Mans race for six years running from 1960 to 1965. As rules of the time required that GT cars were built in dozens and sold, around 100 cars in total have been made, mostly as 289 cu in (4.7 L) V8-powered Mk Is, of which at least 50 were made in 1965, which allowed FIA-homologation as Group-4-Sportscar for 1966 until 1971. This gave the old MK.I car of Gulf-Wyer the chance to enter and win Le Mans in 1968 and 1969 after prototypes had been limited to 3 litre, with the performance of the Ford 7-litre-V8 in the factory 1966 Mk.II and 1967 Mk.IV prototypes causing this rule change, which also banned the 4-litre V12 Ferrari P4 and others after 1967. The Mk.III designation was used for some road-legal cars. This GT40 is in perfect driving condition!! Ready for lots of FUN!!
