Vehicle Description
Superformance Tool Room GT40 P/1163 is finished in the classic Gulf
Blue and Orange livery with black interior. The Tool Room
configuration mechanically and visually is a tribute to the GT40
P/1075, the 1968 and 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans winner.
GT40 P/1163 is powered by a 302 CI V-8 engine with rare
Gurney/Westlake heads and Weber stacked induction. This power unit
is mated to a ZF 5-speed manual transmission.
While some 50th Anniversary GT40 MkI cars were offered standard
with A/C and a choice of left- or right-hand drive configuration,
this special edition "Tool Room GT40P/1075" is authentic to how
these winning cars were raced in the late 1960s Approximately 90%
of the parts are interchangeable with the original GT40s, and this
car was built to race in vintage FIA events
This car was built to race in vintage FIA events with a lower
compression ratio compensating for European fuel and it is eligible
for sanctioned historic racing homologation.
Equipment includes: Original style brass and copper radiator,
original style steering rack, Twin Stewart Warner 240A fuel pumps,
Auto-lite rev limiter, Lucas style push button starter solenoid,
Stewart Warner gauges and Smiths tachometer, Zephyr eye-ball dash
vents, Brittex seat belts, 12" steering wheel, Jeweled dash warning
lamps, original style seat material and brass eyelets, original
style roll bar, along with Girling brake calipers and discs.
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the stunning successes of
GT40 P/1075, Gulf Oil, Safir GT40, and Superformance joined forces
on the limited-edition 1969 Tribute GT40 featuring P1000
continuation prototype chassis numbers. Including all the
aesthetics of P/1075 in its 1969 Le Mans triumph, the cars included
a Limited-Edition Gulf GT40 guitar and a plaque celebrating 25 of
the people who brought the Gulf racing team to its stunning victory
during that glorious 1969 racing season.
