I didn't think there were any European '66 heritage cars? Is this an import?

This car was delivered in France, by Ford France, where the photo was taken.

The secret is maintained with great care, on the identity of the new owners of Ford GT.
I still have to wait a few days to possibly know the identity of the French owner of this car.

In these circumstances, it is unfortunately extremely difficult for me to organize, as I wish, the contact between the European owners.

Best regards.

I now know that the first Ford GT delivered in France, a "Heritage 66" (H128),
is the car of Anthony BELTOISE.

Brilliant driver in GT category, he is the son of Jean-Pierre BELTOISE, one of the greatest French car pilots, who raced in Formula 1 and especially in Prototype with the famous and monstrous MATRA.



Best regards from France.

If you rub a Ford GT back to bare carbon you will not get the beautiful weave pattern as exposed on the Ford GT Competition Special - the carbon is impregnated with a filler agent and the resulting bare body would look something like the green prototypes seen in the early days of development.

The panels for the Competition Special require extensive additional lay-up and time to create - not easy to reproduce after the fact, actually impossible to reproduce if you ask me! Only option would be to add a carbon wrap on top of the final body color.

AC - once again is not easy to install after the fact - I do believe the AC lines run through the chassis, but on the Competition Series, to save weight, they do not install the cables in the chassis - and as such they would be impossible to fit once a car was produced. Additionally there would be no 'spare' room to run the cables for an aftermarket AC set-up.

Hope this helps the AC vs Carbon Stripe debate - both impossible to replicate!!!

It would drive me crazy knowing that the Carbon Fiber look of the car is not real. I would rather see a color. Just knowing my car was all Carbon Fiber would be enough to sleep good at night.

I ran into Verlander today at the ballpark driving his GT. We spoke for a few minutes and he was very kind with his time.
