That a really good picture of XGT3 Alan Manns spare car at 1966 Lemans. That should of course been taken over to Goodwood FoS for Dan Gurney to drive as it in the same colours as his Shelby 1966 entry. But I suppose time and money restraints. They did a good job with P1008. But it is not a MKII!!!
I have just seen the Motor Sports magazine article in the August edition on the 1-2-3 win at Le mans in 1966. Be warned though they have used pictures including the cover of P1008 in clone mode to illustrate it. Without a caption stating this is P1008 and not P1046 the Le mans winner.
Another point about the MKII the centre boss on the steering wheel was padded without the Ford GT boss and they used different make of instrumentation from the MKI.
