Here's a partial view of the Ford GT transporter on the right, beyond the Ferrari hauler, Goodwood TT Aug. 29th. 1964.

Here's another with a Gulf car, caption said testing at  foggy Silverstone,  has to be 1968 at the earliest. We can see the transporter

in the back ground with the ramps down, and another GT40 with no #s or stripes, could be first time out ?

This might have been on forum 1 ?

^^^ How did that work out with the steep ramps and those low cars?  short nose?


... also interesting to see that [Sunbeam] "Harrington LeMans" there in that photo as well. I don't know enough detail to identify the "model", but those are pretty rare.

  The GT 40 in reply #61:
    What is that object on the right rear fender between the"horseshoe" sticker?

This is a really cool topic . That last picture is the only one that shows the possibility of being a transporter, I was thinking until that point that they where hauling spares and being work spaces.

Found this photo appears to be loading damaged GT/111 following 65 Targa Florio into the FAV transporter?

Short nose and the "spoiler" was no more than an diverter to force the air out to the sides.

It is a large night time identification light. They were installed in the right or left rear fender (depending upon track/pit configuration).  Sourced from WWII aircraft. Lens color varied per chassis/race.

Does anyone have the second page of the transporter add.
