When the top brass in Dearborn committed Ford to international sportscar competition, they were determined to vanquish the unstoppable Ferraris and exchange fortunes at Le Mans. The Ford Motor Company succeeded with the incomparable GT40 racing cars; its triumphs included 4 consecutive victories at Le Mans! For 1966, Ford would launch an assault with no less than eight 7-liter Mk IIs!
Exoto pays tribute to Ford’s shining achievement in 1966 when it not only earned victory, but crushed the competition on the way to a 1-2-3 sweep at the worlds greatest endurance race. Presenting our special Afficionado Gift Set in an Exclusive Limited Edition! This special coffret includes the 1966 Le Mans 1-2-3 Winners.
