Delivery is definitely a good option. I've used an open car trailer for hauling long pieces of lumber, large cattle panels, a lawn tractor, furniture, ....

Where and when was the photo taken?

OTOH, "Racing in the Rain" is a great book by John Horsman (which covers GT40s and other cars he worked with)

For those not in the US, this is in Greenwich, Connecticut, not the UK.

I don't know, but it looks like it's mounted at a high point. Could it be a vent?

One thing to remember is that the holes were made by humans, not machines. There is a little bit of variance in each car. It's a feature that Ronnie Spain sometimes uses to identify individual cars from factory and historic photos.

Here's a photo from a few years ago of 1030's air filter sitting on a Holley carb (with a random Scotsman). IIRC, it's a Fram air filter (you can see a little bit of the orange).

J-10 is an odd car. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/a33300282/ford-gt40-mkiv-for-sale/

What do folks think of Haggerty's estimate of the current values of GT40s? https://insider.hagerty.com/trends/putting-a-value-to-the-ford-gt40/ Prototype $7.7 million Mk I $6.4 million Mk II $8.4 million Mk III $5.1 million Mk IV $6.8 million These values are for cars in...

Glad to know that Dave Morton's car is in good hands.

Or point nose down on a steep hill (such as the driveway to my garage). :)

I wonder if something like Tile or AirTags would work?

Just don't do what Lord Brocket did. https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/lord-brocket-insurance-fraud/ (most of the cars he destroyed were valuable enough that they were rebuilt, literally, from the ashes).

If you live near Massachusetts, the American Heritage Museum offers the opportunity to drive an M4 Sherman or M24 Chaffee tank. They also have cars and planes, but the collection on display is much smaller than it used to be to make room for the military collection they acquired a few years...

If you try their service, make sure you know where it's safe to park.

But not the 2009 Glenscoe car (W02) linked above. OTOH, W01 is shown as having sold for €450,000 last fall. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2008-gelscoe-gt40

The site doesn't list the price the Gelscoe car sold for as other auction pages do. Instead it has a "STILL INTERESTED?" button for contacting them, so I'm guessing it didn't make the minimum bid.

Watching Netflix's F1 series got me wondering about the boats. Before the start of the race at Miami, they show someone talking to folks hanging out on boats(*) next to the track. This got me curious because they didn't show the race cars going over a bridge that could accommodate the boats...
