Original Body from GT40P1001 Raced in Le Mans 1966, FIA
Passport
We own this GT40 and it is available for viewing by appointment in
Jacksonville, Florida.
The culmination of a 10+ year project to build a GT40 from
authenticated original parts.
Built by world-renowned GT40 expert restorer David Brown in New
Zealand over the course of 9 years.
Recognized in a letter to the owner by the authority on GT40's
Ronnie Spain who says it will be added to the next printing of his
book on every GT40 made.
The build began with authenticated original GT40 chassis parts, the
rest of the chassis being built from Ford/Lola blueprints. The
body, drivetrain, interior, suspension and other major components
are authenticated originals from period GT40's. Some new-old stock
and a few reproduction components were used to complete the
build.
