I enjoyed a conversation with the owner of this original GT40 back in the fall of 2017. He said it was the only one ever painted in orange from the factory.

So that'll make 0 in Orange from the factory. :cool:

Kidding, that is a pretty car.

I find it funny now that he made no mention of it being a MkV. He even went on to say that the original owner was the fella who invented the magnetic strips as used on credit cards. I'm sure it's still a great investment.
 
Hi I found the thread with more googling :)
Hi I was doing some random googling of GT40 orange and came across this site and I am sure I came a cross a thread where photos of the car in Manitoba were at the top of the thread and someone else had commented with images that he'd taken from a race in 1971. Specifically the green, orange and red GT40s - green first, orange second, red third. At that point in time my father owned and raced the car and I am trying to track down the gentleman that posted those images. If anyone knows, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance. (the gentleman now lives in States or Canada)
