Hello,
i am not very close to Ford GT or GT40 history but i hope to show some interessting
in Switzerland the Importeur for Shelby was "Performance Cars Ltd." wich was
ruled by Georges Filipinetti
he has the Scuderia Filipinetti and ran with different Drivers some GT40, even in LeMans
The Test Drive and Shooting must be nearly at the same Day, Test was shown in September 1966
all Pics shown P/1033 after the reworked from Custom Body Specialist "Graber" and ready to sell on public,
Colour was Silver/Black and was later Shown on Geneva Auto Show in 1967
i would like to show first an overview from Performance Cars Ltd. Headquarter
P/1033 "Graber"
from back to front: 66GT350 / Ford Cortina / P/1013 Ford Press Car / P/1033 "Graber"
the pic was made on the outside Place from Performance Cars between HQ and the little Skysraper Building
Advertisment befor the Motor Show of Geneva in 1966 for adress
First i like to show the Pics from P/1013 "Ford Press Car" with englisch License Plate OVX 355 D Pic in the outside Parking Lot from Performance Cars, same Time Code like the Group Photo
very good seen in the cement flooring
for the ride on Switzerland Autobahn / Highway the car was registered for the Switzerland Car Magazin
with Switzerland License Plates just fixed over the englisch license Plate ...
in the Car Magazin stand the they rides about 250 Kilometres ( 155 Miles ) which seems a pretty long test ride
on a different place the Car was also screwed up to show full technical Details,
most Closeup Pics was used for showing the difference between normal "Street" and "Graber Custom"
a very interesting and cryptic Pic was found with this sticker,
anybody knows what that has to say
i read "Last Day to shown" "1966" "17-10"
Funny Fact, the Test Driver was pretty high and this shows perfect how small 40 inches was ...
What do you think about that all known or something new ... Second Part with P/1033 "Graber" comes tomorrow, in Germany it is 2 a.m.
Greets from Germany
