I do not wish to offend anyone. As you know I love all Forties wheither originals (real) or not. But what is a continuation car? I know it started with SAFIR. And chassis number continuation. But its just an assocation with the original manufacturers? In other words a financial licensing arrangement?.
Does the SPF Shelby cars have exactly the same bodywork are the original Ford MKII's are hatch spitters mandatory. In Ron's link it says that you can order the Shelby cars that took the first three places in the deadheat finish photo 1966 Le Mans.
The third place car was a Holman and Moody entry! So this statement would have been incorrect the Gurney Grant Red with White stripes P1047 DNF so it would have been more accurate to read that these cars were the the Shelby entries for the 1966 Le Mans and their finishing positions. It would have been nice to see SPF doing a deal with Holman and Moody for a continuation of that car!!
