Photos of Ford GT40 MK II spare 1966 LeMans cars, XGT-3 & 1012 at LeMans

I am looking for photos of the 2 GT40 1966 spare cars XGT-3 and 1012 at LeMans. I have seen the Alan Mann Car Transport photo in Ronnie Spain's excellent book with the 1012 in what is assumed to be ready if needed. I also note that in a number of fine GT40 books the XGT-3 was listed painted Red. The XGT-3 was the only Ford GT40 MK II build that never entered a race.

Information related and photos would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Terry

I don't have many photos of 1012. 1012 did have a web site maybe another member has photos from there.

Interesting photo. Is that an inner CV joint with outer U joint? Was that common on MK 11 ?

Mating a CV joint with a Cardan joint gives you non-constant angular velocity when run at anything but straight.
