This is a fantastic car!
One of my best friends, Andy Prill, has been the mechanical minder as well as the principal driver of this car (shared with Lee Maxted-Page, with whom he shares business premises) since 2008. It's performed exceptionally well at Le Mans Classic and a handful of other select venues.
It's an on-the-button, ready-to-go race car for a well-heeled investor/driver. I hope it doesn't disappear into a museum somewhere.
It will be very interesting to see what it sells for. On the one hand, it represents the definitive, ultimate GT40 spec, and is painfully original compared to many "grandfather's axe" GT40s that have been crashed and rebuilt so many times. On the other hand, the fact that it's a 1968 model prevents it from being eligible for the Goodwood Revival (perhaps the only event for which it would not be accepted).
Here's hoping it goes to a fine new home and continues to be seen! I wonder if it will be at Le Mans Classic this year?
