FORD GT40 Mk 1 Chassis P 1010
The chassis P1010 was the first one to race for the Essex Wire Racing Team all through the 1965 and 66 season. The car was wrecked during testing for Firestone at the end of 1966. Peter Sadler bought the wreck, salvaged all the parts he could and, as for 1009, had the car built with a new chassis but unlike 1009 the old damaged one was scrapped.
Resprayed in dark metallic blue the car was extensively raced through the 1968 and 69 season when it was acquired by Willie Green who raced it at the Tour de France repainted in yellow. He sold it later to Trevor Graham who raced it at Daytona and Sebring in 1970. After its racing career ended the car changed hands several times, it has been at one time registered for road use and was the first one to bear the "GT 40" license plate. It is now restored to its Peter Sadler colors.
