This car was at one of the Goodwood July events where it featured in one where Ford was being celebrated in the early 2000’s – along with the 2 other 66 Le Mans top 3 finishers.
Somewhere I may have pictures…
I was at the ’66 Le Mans race (spectator!). The opening hours were spectacular while Ferrari P3’s were running…180-190 all running close up past the pits to the Dunlop Bridge – what a sight and sound!
P1015 is at the Miller Motorsports Shelby Museum in Utah.
