Our friends over at Gentleman Car get to play with some pretty amazing cars that come through their dealership. This is the nearly perfect reproduction of the Le Mans 66 winning GT40 MKII, driven at the time by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon for the Shelby American Racing Team. As a proof of the integrity and authenticity of the approach, about 90 % of the parts and components of the chassis and bodywork of this CS (for Carroll Shelby) GT40 are interchangeable with those of the priceless and extremely rare original period racing cars.
