Not sure all my books and notes are in my home. Someone emailed me this ad. I remember on the GT Forum(not a member) Ronnie Sain did come out and stated that one GT 106 was a fraud. Not sure that this is the same one.


GT/106: Raced at LeMans on 6/19-20/65 (as #1) retired after 4 hrs. with gearbox troubles. At Daytona testing by K. Miles on 10/16/65 for half shaft behavior, testing was terminated when it was noted that the chassis had fractures at the suspension pick-up points. Chassis was replaced with P/1031. GT/106 was sold (date unknown) off to Timken Roller Bearing Co. and cut clean through 9” Fwd of rear bulkhead. Whereabouts of either half is not known.



I did try to edit title to GT106 but it will not correct.
