History

For the 1966 Le Mans 24hr race, no less than 13 GT40s were entered, eight of which were 7 litre MkII's. 350,000 spectators were reported to have gone to Le Mans to see the famous battle between Ford and Ferrari in the most famous sports car race of the year.

The gold livery number 4 car with the green nose was a sister car of the three-car Holman & Moody team who recorded a 3rd place with the gold livery number 5 car  (previously released as C2465).

With the Ford GT40 Mk II driven by Mark Donohue of the USA, expectations were high. Unfortunately, the number 4 car retired with differential failure after five and a half hours of racing.
