Default Information on the Ford GT40 Required ...

Hey guys,

I've the usual haunts but to not much avail, keep turning up results on the new GT as oppossed to the cars of the 60's. I'm not so much looking for engine power specs but more along the lines of the history of the car from concept to first production keeping in mind what aims the designers had ...

Any links to articles / videos / etc will be very much appreciated images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm pretty sure I have magazine articles of the old GT40 floating around somewhere, but it would require extensive trawling to track them down.

Also, I know that Clarkson reviewed the old GT40 in a video of his (the one with all the supercars) if that is of any interest to you.

Here's quite a good site about the old GT40:s: http://www.gt40.org.uk/

I also have a few articles, but sadly only in finnish.

I dont know if someone who has the ability to record tv here in the states and up them, but you might be able to find somthing somewhere. On Speed channel this week or weekend they had an episode of behind the headlights on the gt40 with interviews from all sorts of people. The show is an hour long and is pretty good. Sorry i cant help more.

Speaking of GT40's, does anybody have a 1280x1024 or bigger picture of a classic GT40 with the blue/orange paint job?
