"[...] Along with GT/101, 102, 103 and 104, GT/105 was completed in early 1964, and is one of four factory lightweight prototype examples. It was a test, development and race car for the factory team, and is the highest test mileage example still in existence. It was the first GT40 to ever run the howling 289cu/in Ford V8 (an engine it had from birth) and the first GT40 to ever run the ZF gearbox.
