The culmination of a 10+ year project to build a GT40 from authenticated original parts.

Built by world-renowned GT40 expert restorer David Brown in New Zealand over the course of 9 years.

The build began with authenticated original GT40 chassis parts, including a chassis number from 1966, the rest of the chassis being built from Ford/Lola blueprints. The body, drivetrain, interior, suspension and other major components are also authenticated originals. Some new-old stock and a few reproduction components were used to complete the build.

Original body of the 1001 Essex Wire entry for 1966 Le Mans, making it the oldest surviving production GT40 body in the world.

One of three 289 Cleveland engines made, original engine to 1042 (CP004) - Scuderia Filipinetti entry for 1967 Le Mans.

Parts of frame from 1042, correct period date coded "1967" Triplex windscreen, 1969 coded four point race harnesses, correct period Lucas interior mirror, and period Les Leston bullet mirrors for the front wings. The 48 IDA Weber carburettors sit on an FAV inlet manifold embossed with "1042". The uprights are period magnesium items and have been crack tested for longevity, and the rest of the suspension came from 1009. Original parachute material seats from 1032, the Holman Moody entry for the 1966 Le Mans, the steering wheel from 1026, the Salmon entry for the 1967 Le Mans and period GT40 instrumentation from a mixture of 1045, 1085 and the remainder sourced from GT40 Gold Parts.
