1971 Ford GT40 – A Myth on Wheels, Now Within Reach

Imagine owning a piece of Le Mans history – not as a poster on your wall, but as a roaring, snorting beast in your own garage. That’s exactly what this vehicle offers: not a pampered showroom queen, but a genuine GT40 – raw, uncompromising, with oil in its veins and history in its paint.

GT40 MkI? MkII? Both – and more.
This car began life in Michigan, USA – built with original MkI GT40 components, later converted into MkII spec. A Frankenstein with pedigree. In 1984, it was exported to the UK, where it received proper British refinement and now drives with right-hand steering and UK registration. And the best part: it has an FIA Historic Technical Passport (HTP) – ready for historic European racing.

A GT40 with HTP is rare. One with a traceable history and original parts? Nearly impossible. And one registered in 1971, now road-legal in Italy with documented historic provenance? Truly one-of-a-kind.

Technical Data – Power That Smells Like Castrol

• 5.3-litre Ford V8 – because nothing screams like a big American engine
• ZF gearbox – as used in the original GT40 MkII
• DOC suspension – same spec as the Le Mans icon
• 10-inch wing wheels with new Dunlop tyres
• Includes: 2 spare tyres + 4 winter wheels
• Ready for show, rally or historic competition

The Spirit of Le Mans
A GT40 is more than a car – it’s a symbol. Henry Ford’s revenge on Enzo Ferrari. A testament to American defiance on European turf. This car carries that DNA – not just in its parts, but in its soul.

The Michigan plate, the transformation, the story – all hint that this car has seen more than just Sunday drives. Perhaps it was there. Perhaps it shared a garage with a true Le Mans winner. What’s certain: this is not a replica. It’s a mystery with character.

Key Facts for Collectors, Racers and Dreamers:
✅ GT40 chassis with MkI → MkII conversion
✅ 1971 registration with UK plate

Conclusion – No Poster. No Replica. No Compromise.
If you’ve always dreamed of a GT40 but didn’t have €8 million to spare – this is your chance. This car isn’t for show-offs. It’s for purists, racers and storytellers. A legend on wheels, ready for the next chapter – maybe with you behind the wheel.
