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.

not sure what the above is, a hearse? Business truck? Bird delivery? the front wheels are pre 1936, as they are wood spokes. The head lights are also pre 1936. Photo originally found on http://blog.livedoor.jp/kaikaihanno/archives/35581008.html

Is that a car body on the front?

wow, early primative powered machine for replacing horses, the 1911 Knox Martin tractor. That makes it 103 years ago. Notice the chain drive dual rear tires, hard rubber.
