Keith in 1970 Ford had no official GT40's they were obsolete it was private teams that were running them. The Homologated GT40 was in 1965 but overstamped April 1966 for a run of 50. Which was not completed at the time April 1966. Ford official pulled out of endurance racing in 1967. And maybe...

Hi let me make it clear I am not trying to be a smart alec and you probabley know all ready that P/1075 never ran with spoilers. The funny thing is they were not on the Mirage M1 either but that did have carnards and I thought that was a more aerodynamic shape . Anyway Good luck and great...

I afraid there are no completely accurate MK1 models both diecasts and slotcars. Both try and retool existing moulds to save tooling costs. The lastest 1/32nd NSR slotcar of the double 1968/69 Le Mans winner P/1075 was retooled from their MKII model and so has front jacks; no central Nasar duct...
