Product Description

Product Description
When Ford's attempt to buy Ferrari fell through, the US car giant embarked on a programme to beat the famous Italian marque at the world's most prestigious race, the Le Mans 24 hours. It was quite a battle. Ford's challenger was the GT40, which placed 1-2-3 at Le Mans in 1966 and won the next three consecutive years. This classic book about the GT40 - fastest sports racing car of its day - has been redesigned, expanded and updated to meet pent-up demand that has pushed the value of the original 1985 edition to over GBP400.

About the Author
John Allen and Gordon Jones are both long-time sports car enthusiasts with an over-riding passion for the Ford GT40. They live respectively in Leeds and the Cognac area of France.

5.0 out of 5 stars best ever book on the GT40, 9 Aug 2008

By	steve hughes (France) - See all my reviews

Without doubt the best book written to date on the gorgeous GT40 ....the full history from the GT to the '66 winning MKII and beyond.
All the history background along with some superb photographs.
I would consider this book a must for any serious GT40 fan.
10/10 to Gordon Jones and John Allen.
