Sorry for this belated response RIP Dave Morton

5'5 inches and long legs(just joking I know the gurney bubble route) and loads of patients. Good Luck

Great another hurdle passed

Marve Yes your right Brain fog!! I think I got thoerown off by the picture with the number 6. The 1967 Le Mans winning MKIV is J-5

What car is the picture above? It cannot be J-6 there's no Gurney Bubble?

I think your best bet is the Henry Ford Museum where J-6 is based they would know the colour or put you onto the restoration team that refurbished J-6. Or a search in the GT40 thread might unearth the colour code.

Sorry Folks Ronnies 4th Edition is Black Front cover.

I have no idea but if it comes it will be 2022 or later.

I spoke to Ronnie and there are 4 editions 1986 1st Edition Green P/1017 Front Cover; 1993/4 2nd Edition Red Black XGT-3 Front Cover; 3rd 1997 Dark Blue GT/105 at Le Mans trials Front cover and 4th Edition 2003 Hardback and Soft cover versions P/1075 on Brickyard Regards Allan

Stephens right but just to point out all three are the same 1986 version they are not updates. I think the second 1992 had Red cover the originals is Green. The 2003 version Blue. maybe some one could correct me if I have the covers wrong? regards Allan

Graham according to Ronnie Spains book it was rebuilt by Jim Toensingght the wreck from Dr Arterberry the owner of the fire damaged wreck in 1979..

The odd Five spoke wheels were from the Ford 3 litre P68 I think they were optional at the time.

Really good read

Jimmy The front of P/1008 is andapted MKI nose not a MarkII.

There is a book coming out shorting in October (I think) By John Allen and Graham Endeacott on the early years of the GT40 and Slough. It might have photos of Abbey Panel Factory I do not know. Allan

Hi Steve when it first appear in a MKII guise I asked Goodwood why they had a Ford GT40 MKII listed in the program when it was P/1008. Never got a reasonable answer. I do not mind car being made to look like other famous ones. But tell the paying public. After all in 1966 the Le Mans winner...

The Black and Silver GT40 "MKII" with the the white lettering FMC 1 is not a MKII or the 1966 Le Mans winner but GT40P/1008 Ford 1965 press car made up to look like The 1966 Le Mans winning MKII.

Thanks Steve Its just the early history has not been sourced. I tried to get pictures from various sources of the first prototype GT/101 outside the FAV Slough building but apparently the GT/101 was never photograph outside before it went to Heathrow for its public Launch and then onto the...

Steve I read the text and it states that the 1963 prototype was testing. This was Eric Broadley's Lola GT MKVI and sure it was involved in the Ford GT project testing Suspension among other things. But since the Ford GT Prototype GT/101 was not built until 1st April 1964 what does that statement...

I am just an GT40 enthusiast. But I do know that the GT40 parts manual had pictures of the GT40 MKI not the MKIII road car. I have a copy brochure of the GT40 and that is the MKI on the front with no reference to the GT40 MKIII. I think there might have been a GT40 MKIII leaflet release at the...
