P1107 is the Fords Heritage car and has been resprayed white with a blue centre stripe.The car Ian saw was that car before the blue centre stripe was added. It was originally sprayed silver. It was the course car at the Goodwood revival this year. The Ford GT40 MKI in gulf colours with the BRM five spoke is also a Fords Heritage car.
Since the MKIII side windows could fit the MKI there have been more than one MKI with these fitted.
Without checking I am sure the MKIII that was in Beauliu Motor Museum before the current white one was Blue. Was this Pie Wyer car? The daughter of John Wyer.
I have a postcard of the MKIII from Beauliu Motor Museum showing the colour to be Gold (rather confusing)!
There was a Yellow MKIII for sale about a year ago.
All the MKIII's should be running on Borrani wires (1966-7 Period).
I also have a press release picture of the MKIII. Most of the cars would have Ford letters on the front.
The dealer that I bought the pictures from also had some other pictures of what he though was a MKIII. They had a MKIII with no Ford letters on the nose and a latch on the nose. The real give away was the number plate KVA 1!!!!!
Sorry about the spelling
