Last weekend, I went to the Eifelrennen at the Nurburgring and ran into this amazing GT40.
The truck said: Alan Mann Racing and I, of course, got curious.
I had a small talk with the German owner who owns the car for about 30 years now and uses it for racing only (which definitely shows).
The engine is a 289 ci with a ZF trans.
The owner showed me a poster in his truck which shows the car in the pits at Le Mans in 1966 wearing number 25.
He mentioned the chassis number, but by the time I got home I forget. Searching the www I found out that Alan Mann only made 5 lightweight GT40s of which only 2 were MK1 (and 3 MK2). The MK1 had chassis number AMGT40/1 and AMGT40/2. Since AMGT40/2 is located in the US and has changed owner not that long ago and has blue liveries, I conclude that this car is AMGT40/1!
