Following on with more GT40 pics....
Here's an early car. Whoever restyled the nose clip to be what we know as the 'normal' MkI nose sure improved its appearance. The MkI is one of the best looking cars ever to hit the road. If Ford could resurrect the a '60s design in 2005, largely unaltered apart from a percentage blow-up in size, that says a lot about the design integrity - and appeal - of the original.
Just as interesting as the GT40 itself in this picture, is the contrast to the other period cars in the picture. The GT40 could have come from a different planet!
Cheers,
