Ford GT40 MK III Recreation 1970 for sale

The story of an exceptional GT40 MkIII replica In the 1960s, Englishman Ken Vincent Atwell (senior production engineer at Ford Motor Co., Swansea plant, UK) was commissioned by Ford to assist in the restoration of a damaged Ford GT40 MkIII, which had been involved in an accident during a promotional shoot. As there was no budget available for the repair, Ken offered to do the work in his workshop – on the condition that he could make moulds of the body parts to subsequently build his own vehicle. Thus, during that time, our stunning GT40 MkIII replica body was born – a 100% faithful replica of the legendary car. Ken Atwell was even commissioned by Ford to create moulds and spare parts for the original GT40 MkI and MkII race cars. He later received official approval from Ford to use the moulds to produce his own GT40 bodies – primarily MkI and MkII variants. Thanks to this privileged access, Ken Atwell bodies are still considered the most accurate GT40 replicas in the world – Atwell is often referred to as the "father of GT40 replication". Technical perfection – The GT40 MkIII replica in detail This particular MkIII recreation was commissioned by an enthusiast, with the aim of creating a technically superior, yet visually identical copy of the famous chassis no. 5 (GT40M3/1105) – the most well-known of only seven original MkIII vehicles. The vision: a vehicle that looks like the original, but is improved in performance, road handling, and reliability. Where possible, original parts or exact reproductions were used. The Ken Atwell MkIII body was delivered to Revival Motorsport (UK), where the vehicle was hand-assembled to the highest level by renowned John Arnold – known for his officially licensed Jaguar D-Type Continuation Cars.
