GT40 P1073

FORD GT40 Mk1 Chassis P 1073

1073 was sold as a bare chassis to Terry Drury who finished it himself with parts provided by Paul Hawkins. The car bears a resemblance with Hawkins' AMGT2 but was painted bronze and later in the season, white. T. Drury raced it in 1968 in several major international events. He sold it to Ron Fry who raced it at Brands Hatch where he crashed it. He ordered a replacement chassis from JWA and rebuilt the car with some parts from  P. Hawkins and from 1006.   He reused the chassis number 1073. The wrecked chassis was sold and may resurfaced some day but without its original number. After being restored 1073 was sold to a private owner, changed hands several times and still exists today.
