However, this one has a fun twist. Rather than being raced at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/le-mans\/\">Le Mans<\/a>, it was offered to journalists of the era, to allow them to convey to readers what driving the latest race-winning technology was like in real life.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn&rsquo;t its first role, though. Built for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/classics\/\">the 1967<\/a> Geneva Motor Show, it showed the world what a roadgoing version of the most recent Le Mans-winning car looked like. Although it had left the factory Opalescent Silver Blue, it was quickly repainted Metallic Borneo Green by Scuderia Filipinetti, who was in charge of the car while it was in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<div class='in-asd-content'>\n<h6>advertisement scroll to continue<\/h6>\n<div data-pw-desk='med_rect_atf' id='pwDeskMedRectAtf'><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript'>\n  window.ramp.que.push(function () {\n      window.ramp.addTag('pwDeskMedRectAtf');\n  })\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--  [Mobile]med_rect_btf --><\/p>\n<div data-pw-mobi=\"med_rect_btf\" id=\"pwMobiMedRectBtf1\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window.ramp.que.push(function () {\n      window.ramp.addTag(\"pwMobiMedRectBtf1\");\n  })\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/10\/this-ford-rs200-evolution-is-1-of-24-group-b-monsters-with-number-plates\/\">This Ford RS200 Evolution Is 1-of-24 Group B Monsters With Number Plates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n                <picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/webp\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4.webp 2200w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/webp\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-400x300.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/webp\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/webp\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/webp\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-1536x1152.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/webp\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-2048x1536.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px\"><\/source><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px\" alt=\" Beautiful Mk1 Ford GT40 Is A Former Press Car Looking For A New Caretaker\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1967-Ford-GT40-4-1024x768.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\">\n                <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>After finishing its duties in Geneva, the car passed on to Ford UK, where it served in the company&rsquo;s press fleet. While you may think that the fact that it didn&rsquo;t race at Le Mans means that it was treated kindly, I&rsquo;ve met fellow auto journalists, and I&rsquo;ve read reviews from the &rsquo;60s, thus I suspect that this car was ridden hard and put away wet.<\/p>\n<p>It only served as a press car for a few years, though. By 1971, it had been sold to a collector, who painted it yellow. In 2007, a new owner bought it and decided that it was high time the GT40 had a chance to play in its natural habitat: the racetrack.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article',\n    placement: 'Mid Article',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The car was used as a vintage racer, even participating in the 2007 Goodwood Revival. At some point, it was returned to its original color scheme, Opalescent Silver Blue, and is now being offered for sale on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pistonheads.com\/buy\/listing\/15351140\">Piston Heads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, no price has been listed for the car, but estimates suggest that Ford built just 105 examples of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-gt\/\">the GT40<\/a>, and made just a few roadgoing versions. Moreover, since this one has a unique history, it&rsquo;s likely to cost quite a bit.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\"
