2003 Ford GT40 Evocation by CAV For Sale

Since 1960, Henry Ford had wanted to have a Ford race at Le Mans. After dealings with Ferrari fell through, Ford decided to produce his own car and began negotiations with Lola Cars manager Eric Broadley. The agreement between the two called for a year-long collaboration that included the sale of two Lola MK6 chassis to Ford. Soon after Ford hired ex-Aston Martin team manager John Wyer to work with the Ford Motor Co. engineer Roy Lunn on what was to become the Ford GT.

The original GT40 and MK1, designed by Lunn, was prepared at the specially established, Ford Advanced Vehicles facility in the UK. Abbey Panels constructed the advanced monocoque chassis and the drive train finally chosen was the 289 Ford V8 mated to a Coletti transaxle. During the GT40’s racing history a variety of Ford engines were used.

The GT made its debut at the Nurburgring in May ’64 and followed up the appearance with 24 hrs of Le Mans. The cars failed to finish both races – a devastating blow to the Ford Team. Although they were not successful at Le Mans in 64 or 65, their obvious potential led Ford to continue racing them and in 1966 Ford made American racing history with a dominant one, two and three finish over Ferrari at Le Mans.

The Ford GT40 Evocation by CAV offered here at Autostorico is a factory built 2003 registered example. Finished in metallic Silver with Black leather interior, this iconic car sounds every bit as impressive as it looks. Powered by a Ford 4. 7 litre V8 engine and driven through a 5 speed manual transmission the CAV GT40 boasts blistering performance. 0-60 mph is achieved in a little over 4. 5 seconds with a top speed of close to 170mph. The CAV GT is recognised as being one of the highest quality recreations available. The car is based on a tig-welded, stainless steel monocoque chassis. Suspension is fully adjustable and designed with both fast road and track use in mind. The bodyshell is made of vinylester resin and chopped strand fibre, recreating the iconic shape including the single nostril bonnet for optimum cooling efficiency. Other notable features include; Knock off wheel centres, Harnesses, Air conditioning and Twin fuel tanks.

A truly a unique opportunity to own such a stunning example of a true racing legend, which will certainly appreciate over time.
