Since 1960, Henry Ford had wanted to have a Ford race at Le Mans. After dealings with Ferrari fell through, Ford decided to produce his own car and began negotiations with Lola Cars manager Eric Broadley. The agreement between the two called for a year-long collaboration that included the sale of two Lola MK6 chassis to Ford. Soon after Ford hired ex-Aston Martin team manager John Wyer to work with the Ford Motor Co. engineer Roy Lunn on what was to become the Ford GT. The original GT40 and MK1, designed by Lunn, was prepared at the specially established, Ford Advanced Vehicles facility in the UK. Abbey Panels constructed the advanced monocoque chassis and the drive train finally chosen was the 289 Ford V8 mated to a Coletti transaxle. During the GT40’s racing history a variety of Ford engines were used. The GT made its debut at the Nürburgring in May ’64 and followed up the appearance with 24 hrs of Le Mans. The cars failed to finish both races – a devastating blow to the Ford Team. Although they were not successful at Le Mans in 64 or 65, their obvious potential led Ford to continue racing them and in 1966 Ford made American racing history with a dominant one, two and three finish over Ferrari at Le Mans. The Ford GT40 Evocation by GTD offered here at Autostorico is a factory built 1997 registered example. Finished in metallic Grey with Black leather interior, this iconic car sounds every bit as impressive as it looks. Powered by a freshly built SD Engineering Ford 351 V8 Windsor engine and driven through a 5-speed manual transmission with the gear selector correctly positioned. The GTD is recognised as being one of the highest quality recreations available with this car having been looked after by marque expert Frank Catt of Wealdon Engineering. Recent works include fitting the latest Holley carburettor rebuilding the suspension, brakes and steering. New seats and belts fitted. A truly a unique opportunity to own such a stunning example of a true racing legend. Supplied with a history file including current V5 registration document, MOT valid until October 2026, various invoices and other related material.
