The Appeal
Need a car to drive down to Le Mans Classic this year? Look no further than this superb recreation of the legendary Ford GT40; the car that beat Ferrari at Le Mans four years in a row.
Using the renowned Southern GT body and equipped with a 5.8-litre Ford Racing V8, this beautifully finished and highly detailed recreation of those original GT40s offers a superb opportunity for those wishing to relive what was arguably the most exciting era of endurance racing. Better still, this car is fully road legal, complete with advisory-free MOT and ready to drive.
The vendor built the car in 2017, and it's been used sparingly and dry-stored ever since. It's serviced every year regardless of mileage and benefits from a recent fresh set of period-style Avon tyres.image.png1.89 MB
