I have this photo as the #22 Grady Davis/Gulf Oil P1049 in 1966 at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) driven by Dick Thompson.

Sorry, I should have included the link to the Hotel de France GT40 page. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.600300500019257.1073741842.543378279044813&type=3#!/media/set/?set=a. Or Google Hotel de France GT40, I don't trust the link.

In reference to 1964, the GT40s were entered by Ford Advanced Vehicles and managed by John Wyer. Wyer had used the Hotel de France as his base of operations when he managed the Aston Martins and returned there in 1964 for both the April trials and the June race and later in 1968 and 1969 when...

Re: 1966 historical photo\'s JLH, Thank you for the information on your father's garage and Ford's rental. I have attached some photos I hope will be useful to you.

I believe the cause of the fire was contact with the wall.

Ford GT40 P1048 at Le Mans, 4/18/71, for the 3 hour race held in conjunction with the Le Mans April trials. Owned and driven by Jean-Pierre Rouget. Car caught fire during the race and was burned out. The stern little boy is the son of the photographer.

Oh it is P1004 alright. All the GT40s and Cobra Daytonas air freighted from LAX to France were given new race numbers once they got to Le Mans. https://www.flickr.com/photos/thehenryford/sets/72157629443828287/page2/

Lovely picture, thank you for posting it.

You can find Jorgen and photos of many of his superb models here. Moments from my car modelling history - Ready For Inspection - Vehicles - Britmodeller.com

This may be the picture you are thinking of. It is very similar to the photo in Ronnie Spain's book but a bit different. I don't know the source but it may be FoMoCo.

J10, G7A 1969 Mid Ohio This is a photo I took of J10 in 1969 at MidOhio where it did not start the race.

Re: J9, formerly G7A Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.

I have seen posted on a Ferrari web site a picture of a white Ford GT MKIV. The inference is that it is the former unraced J7A chassis J9 which has been rebodied as a MKIV. Anyone have details?

When looking at J5 during the Ford 100 Year Racing celebration, I asked the caretaker the same question. Behind the hole is an oil tank with a circular clear window which would give a quick check of the oil level. The tank is directly behind the oil cooler and has a filler tube above. Gramps

A histria de uma lenda This is a good site and you can search (divers) on 1966 which will give you the full field and by clicking on the race number of each car you can get photos.

It is also worth noting the winning GT40MKII started the race on Firestones and ended the race on Goodyears due to the wet weather conditions.

Thanks Allan for the response. I am still searching, the paint scheme is fairly unnique but has not led to any leads yet.

Ah yes, a long debated subject and very subjective. If we concentrate on the chassis layout only and leave the body design and drivetrain to others then this quote from John Wyer in his book, A Certain Sound, is appropriate: " this is perhaps the right time to correct certain widely held...

I have been going bonkers trying to identfy this GT40. From the file name we know it is at Circuit Lignieres in Switzerland but no date. From Google the Circuit Lignieres appears to be a motorcycle and cart track currently, could not image it is large enough for anything bigger. I have...
