GT40s at 2013 Goodwood press day

[Mike Drew]

Hi guys,

Got a report from an E-zine (Sports Car Digest) about the Goodwood Festival of Speed press day. One presumes this highlights cars which will be participating in the Festival of Speed later in the year. Quite a few GT40s, with some great images by Tim Scott:

Thanks for posting Mike. Seems like most of the time it is either cold or raining or cold & raining at Goodwood this time of year.. Sweet pictures none the less..

Does anyone know the MK and Chassis number of the White car?

Names of the gentlemen posing for the pictures at the end?

The white car is Ford's own mk v s/n 1107 - course car at Goodwood revival most years

The white car is a MKIII road car M3/1107 Fords own course car. The car that looks like a MKII in Black and Silver was another course car owned by Ford. A dead give a away is its number plate FMC 1! this gives away the fact that its Fords press car a MK1 small block GT40/P1008. This car was rebodied to look like the 1966 MKII (GT40/P1046) Le Mans winner a couple of years ago when the real car was at the Le Mans Classic who's dated clashed with the Festival of Speed
