Hi guys

the black car at Goodwood (P1008) was done in conjunction with
Ray Webber's Mirage Automotive and myself on behalf of Ford.

Ford wanted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 66 LeMans win, but as Goodwood and the Le mans classic was on at the same time this year, Ford asked me to clone P1046 (the Black Le Mans winner) as the original car would be at the Le Mans Classic and would not be available for Goodwood.

I supplied the Mk11 panels and other parts to complete the job.
Ray and Steve of Mirage Automotive did the paint work and fitted the MK11 panels and wheels and Brian Magee supplied the decals.

I wish to thank Ray, Steve and Brian for their excellent contribution to this project.

regards

Chris.
