FORD GT40 Mk1 Chassis P 1040
1040 had a longer career than its sister car 1039. After the Le Mans test days (see the 1039 chapter) it was raced at Monza (3rd) and at Le Mans in 1966 where it retired as all the other GT40 Mk1. In 1967 it was seen again at the Le Mans test days and again at Monza where it was destroyed in a fire. The wreck was sold to Franck Sbarro who later started the restoration. Sold unfinished in 1977 the car changed hands several times and is now finally finished in its Filipinetti colors.
