Peter,

I've spoken to Ronnie Spain and it appears that you've already contacted him. It would have been polite to let me know this.

Graham.

No there is a GT40 P/1046 purchased with that chassis number in Europe and verified by correct documents

You mean 1046 the 66 Le Mans winner? Pretty sure the ownership of that chassis number is pretty well documented, summarized here, a bit down the page:

The First Ford GT40 to Win Le Mans Gets a Proper Makeover

The "Americans at Le Mans" exhibit in the Village at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France was roped off and closed to the public first thing on this Saturday morn

www.automobilemag.com

Specifically:

"In 1982, chassis 1046 was bought by George Stauffer, a major player in the Cobra and Ford GT communities. Stauffer commissioned a restoration in the style of the day, which is to say primarily pragmatic and cosmetic, and it was widely exhibited and ran in vintage races. In 2010, Stauffer sold it for roughly $10 million to collector Aaron Hsu, and Hsu sold it last year (2015) for a reported $22 million to hedge-fund manager Rob Kauffman."

Hi Juergen,
I guess David would of been on ebay.com There's three editions to my knowledge, 1986, 1992 & 2003. Ronnie is working on a follow up but there's no due date yet.
Regards Steve

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

 

My 1996 copy is blue.
