Original GT 40 chassis under a van.. imagine finding this van after 40 years of obscurity

The Supervan first appeared at the Easter 1971 meeting at Brands Hatch. A GT40 chassis and its mid-engined 400 bhp Ford V8 gave a standard pressed-steel Mark 1 Transit bodyshell a claimed top speed of around 150 mph. The vehicle had been built for Ford by Terry Drury Racing. Externally the van appeared very like a standard Transit, in Ford’s racing livery of white with low horizontal triple blue stripes.

wow... the 1968 Le Mans effort of a Gulf Oil Ford GT 40 of John Wyer was filmed by the brake company Ferodo, and titled, "Don't start something you can't stop" Sir Stirling Moss narrates

Amazing! Just the lap that Moss narrates is very cool, and that is only a entry to the film! Found on http://silodrome.com/never-start-something-you-cant-stop/

oh man, this is incredible, I just found the 1956 one lap narrated by someone else, but he is going along while ordinary pedestrians and traffic are on the course!

Maurice found a good gallery from Goodwood Revival 2013

all of these from http://www.behance.net/gallery/GOODWOOD-REVIVAL-2013/11685503 thanks to Maurice letting me know about it

would you even be on the track when it's this wet, slippery, and evil... in a legit original GT40? Or just wait for a dry track day instead?

comparison of Fords... big and clumsy, small and sporty

High Voltage posted a great gallery of a GT40 from the Le Mans Classic

What do you suppose the above Camaro hood scoops are? the green one looks like it has Mach One Mustang shaker scoops

I figure the above has to be the Capt Jack and his Turbonique cart
