The Mk3 were designed as a road car only. Some changes have been made from the Mk1:
the car had 4 round headlamps instead of 2 rectangular.
the rear part of the body was extended to provide luggage space
the interior was more luxurious
the stick shift was moved to the center
the car was available with the steering wheel on the left side
the engine was tuned down and the shock absorber were softened.
All these changes made the car looking significantly different from the road version of the Mk1 which explained why the Mk3 was never popular. Road car buyers preferred to have a GT40 which looked like the racing version and only seven were built during the production years.
