This book provides a different view of the Ford GT legend, featuring driver interviews, and both historical and new photographic records. Some of the old myths and legends of the racetrack have been revisited, Ford GT drivers have been given their place on the roll of honour, and their opponents on the racing track are also discussed. With details of the Ford GT replica industry, this book is an historical and interesting record of this classic car, and a must for all GT enthusiasts.
The Ford GT40's origins need no introduction, but this Adrian Streather offering brings together early and rare Ford archive shots and race photos to build a timeline (and many of the photos are excellent). The featurettes on replicas gold more weight than ever with so many now gracing historic meetings. - Motor Sport. Covering the Ford GT, it isn't just a review of the Ford GT from the late 1960s and early 1970s. It does that, but also introduces the new Ford GT crated in the mid 2000s. The book doesn't just cover the factory Ford GTs created, but also goes on to document the numerous other companies which built replicas, or cars based on the original, which is something not often seen elsewhere. There are also plenty of period photographs of the cars being raced, coupled with pictures detailing features such as cockpit layouts and carburettor setups. - www.silhouet.com.
