I find this perpetuating myth about the demands made for the "use" of the GT40 title quite amusing. I had a conversation with the person who ended up owning it, and the original request was modest in the extreme - all it would have required was a few good manners on the part of some spoilt Ford brat and a sensible conversation and the deal would have been done for the proverbial peanuts. Instead, the Fordy-type gets his underwear in a bunch and goes off in a sulk, claiming a deal could not be struck due to outrageous demands (False) Ford's loss - never mind.
