Re: GT40 Crash Test 1967

That same picture, and a few others showing the car after the crash are published in 'Shelby GT40' by Dave Friedman. A very good book, with lots of old colour photos, and those pictures are in a section dealing with the death of Ken Miles late in 66. A very sobering chapter.
It also includes a similar recount of the story by Bill.

This also leads to the question of which chassis was used? And what became of it. I don't think Ronnie Spain got to the bottom of it in his old book, but perhaps someone out there now knows the story?

It appears to be of the early Mark 2s - chassis GT1.., but which one?
