1032 was completed by Holmann & Moody to replace GT 107 in the Mk2 program. Painted in white with a black hood it was sent to Sebring in February 1966 for the 12 hours race where it finished 2nd. Then it went to France for the 24 hours of Le Mans in June this time painted in gold. It retired after 4 hours. Only 2 races for this Mk2, after Le Mans it was resprayed in black to look like the winner of that race and was used as a show car. In 1970 it was donated to the "Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum"where it stayed for a while then went to the "Early Wheels" exhibition in Terre Haute Indiana, still as the Le mans winner look alike livery but with white stripes instead of silver. 1032 has been recently (2013) restored to its 1966 Le mans livery.
