It would seem the current owner of the car would be better served staying far far away from this debate. To do otherwise suggests more dubious intentions.

I was pleased to see that 1046 stayed over in Europe for the Le mans Classic and had not returned to the USA with 1015. It was good to see it parked in the heritage area with the opportunity to get a lot closer than was possible when it was displayed in the Americans at Le Mans exhibition at the 24hrs.
I was very interested to look at some of the fine detail that has been gone in to during the restoration to ensure it is as accurate as possible to 1966 race condition and I specifically liked the following elements:
1. Rivet holes for rear deck marker light protector. It has now become clear that both 1046 and 1015 did have marker light protector shields fitted when they were shipped from USA and on arrival at Le Mans in 1966 but they were removed at some point before the race.
2. Brush painting of the race numbers.
3. re-creation of spray pattern for red jacking points with red over white over original blue.
4. un-painted indent by drivers door handle but painted on passenger side
5. Some form of electronics under near side luggage box. Not sure what this is, possibly something to do with timing, but looking at period pictures there does appear to be something under there (anyone any ideas what it is?)
6. Re-enforcing strips around the front of the doors. I have not been able to make this out on period pictures, but may be a good idea for my car where the drivers door is splitting on the front seem.
I would like to congratulate all at Rare Drive who have done a brilliant job on this and also to Rob Kauffman for making it possible.

No 5 A replica sensor was copied from XGT-2 according to Ronnie Spain for GT40P/1046. All cars in the 1966 Le Mans race had this at their rear. John Allen mention with Ronnie that the timing sensor was at the by the beginning of the pits. This was linked to IBM computer. So by the time the MK IIs had staged their fake dead heat finish on the "finishing line" the result was already known!!!
