The bodywork is in excellent overall condition. The gull-wing doors, the model’s iconic feature, operate correctly. The black decorative stripes, the ‘Ford GT40’ markings, the race number and the various racing-inspired stickers are in good condition and contribute significantly to the car’s character. The Halibrand-style wheels look excellent and are fitted with BF Goodrich tyres that are in uniform condition. The headlights, windows and exterior trim are well preserved. The sliding side windows are present and in working order.
The interior remains true to the spirit of the original GT40s. The bucket seats are in good condition, with black upholstery that is well-fitted and shows no major wear. The blue harness seats add a particularly striking visual touch and reinforce the car’s racing identity. The black leather-covered dashboard presents a very fine overall appearance. The Smiths-style instrumentation is complete and well integrated, featuring metal aviation-style switches. The carpets and trim are in satisfactory condition, consistent with the vehicle’s use.

The Ford Windsor 351 ci engine develops around 420 ch and has been thoroughly upgraded with a Dart SHP block, forged crankshaft, high-flow oil pump, competition camshaft, roller tappets, competition aluminium rocker arms and reinforced timing system. The vehicle starts perfectly, with no abnormal smoke or suspicious noises. Acceleration is crisp and the overall performance reflects the extensive mechanical overhaul carried out in recent years.
