Synopsis
When Ford's attempt to buy Ferrari fell through, the US car giant embarked on a program to beat the famous Italian marque at the world's most prestigious race, the Le Mans 24 Hours. It was quite a battle. Ford's challenger was the GT40, which placed 1-2-3 at Le Mans in 1966 and won the next three consecutive years. This classic book about the GT40 - fastest sports racing car of its day - has been redesigned, expanded and updated to meet pent-up demand that has pushed the value of the original 1985 edition higher and higher.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Scarce First Edition of this magnificent book - incredible detail, superb period photos. Hardbound with dust jacket. 22cm x 30.5cm, 464pp. Contents in fine condition, the dust jacket is in very good overall condition, but has the usual fading to the spine and extreme left edge of the cover and the writing to the spine is now rather feint. Priced to reflect this. Heavier than average and will only be sent with tracking, so the default postage charge will not apply. Please note that the images here show the actual book for sale, they are not stock images from ABE. Seller Inventory # ABE-1740486087613
