GT40P/1006 was the first car to be fitted with what was to become the production nose. The aerofoil section seen in the radiator aperture wasn't adopted. Here, the car is seen at scrutineering for Le Mans 1965. In the background can be seen Sir John Whitmore and Innes Ireland who were to drive the car in the race.

Graham Hill with team manager Alan Mann at Goodwood in late 1965. The car is GT40P/1008, the Ford Press car. On this occasion, a few journalists were allowed to take the car for a spin, literally, on the circuit.

Sister cars: GT40P/1007 and 1008. GT40P/1007 was the last car to feature the row of ventilation slots on the rear of the roof section. This was the car that featured in the film "Une Homme et Une Femme". Raced by Ford France, the car still resides in France. GT40P/1008 was never raced and is still owned by the Ford Motor Company.

A photograph of GT40P/1021 taken outside Ford Advanced Vehicles when the car was first completed in November 1965. The car is painted in metallic olive green. Note the Borrani wire wheels which were standard fitment at this time. They were quickly replaced by much stronger magnesium alloy wheels.

GT40P/1040 at the Le Mans Test weekend in April 1966. This and its sister car GT40P/1039, were run by the same team, Scuderia Filipinetti. However, both cars were in the same colour scheme with the same number 12 thus causing years of confusion for researchers.

Peter and Maggie Blankstones GT40P/1072 at the Prescott Hill Climb in 1971. Although this is a MkI road car, it is fitted with the side windows from the MkIII.

A well known photograph of GT40P/1009 at Spa in 1966. Driven by owner Peter Sutcliffe and Brian Redman, it finished in 4th place.

The engine bay of GT40P/1014. The aluminium duct below the header tank is for the gearbox oil cooler.

The other side of GT40P/1014. What may not be immediately obvious is that the battery is not in the engine bay and is situated in the passenger footwell. Most GT40s have had the battery relocated but not this early car.

GT40P/1014 shows off its original rear bodywork. The separate indicator/stop light units were later replaced with a single unit.
