We have to start by saying, we cannot stress enough how good this car is, hopefully the pictures do it justice, because this is one of the most exciting releases we have seen in a while. Handmade in resin by Benoît Moro, this is the final incarnation of the car - the Mk IV.

The driving concept for this version was the use use of the lightest structural teqhnique then known, aluminium honeycomb. Built in the US using a different frame and bodywork - and returning to the 7 litre engine - they were raced by an American team who again won Le Mans for Ford. This was the ultimate evolution of the car capable of 220mph.

The first all-American win at Le Mans was achieved by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt. The victory came 10 days after Foyt won the Indy 500 and one week before Gurney won the Belgian Grand Prix.

Henry Ford II's dream of GT had turned into a fairy-tale and truly rubbed Ferrari's nose in it. Ford had established itself as a major force in the racing world. The historic car is now a permanent fixture in The Henry Ford Museum.
