Beschreibung
The movie “Ford vs Ferrari” has made that the Ford GT40 needs no introduction to anyone with a passing interest in Motorsport. Brought on by the bitter rivalry between two giants of motoring history: The enigmatic Enzo Ferrari, and the giant of industry Henry Ford II. The infamous “difference of opinion” over control of Ferrari’s racing operations lead to an arms race seldom seen in the racing world. Ferrari had been dominant over the 24 hours of Le Mans for most of the sixties. Henry Ford was prepared to do everything possible to take that crown and forged a close cooperation between Eric Broadley of Lola Cars, John Wyer, Carol Shelby, Gulf Oil and a stellar line up of drivers, resulting in 4 consecutive Le Mans victories.
The car on sale is professionally built by a leading race car specialist in Germany in 2011 and carries the desired German historic license plate.
