The 1966 Ford GT40 Mk I is one of the most evocative supercars of its era. Ford's Le Mans contender was built in street trim in small numbers to satisfy homologation rules. Constructed by Ford Advanced Vehicles in Slough UK, the road going Mk I featured the same pressed-steel monocoque chassis and Fiberglass bodies with the mid-mounted 289 cubic-inch V8 as the race cars, but with modest concessions to comfort such as carpeting, door pockets, and reversing lights.

With a top speed well over 160 mph, it was among the fastest road cars in the world, yet its dramatic proportions and race-bred engineering made it unlike anything else on public roads in the 1960s. Because only a handful of genuine Mk I road cars were ever produced, highly accurate recreations by respected firms such as KVA have become sought-after in their own right.
