The famous
Gulf GT40 chassis number 1075 driven to victory by
Jacky Ickx and
Jackie Oliver in
1969. It was the fourth consecutive overall victory for the Ford Motor Company and the second consecutive win for 1075 - the first time the 24 Hours had been won by the same car twice. The 1969 season marked the end of the line for the Ford GT, which debuted in 1964, as rule changes by the European governing body made the car illegal for competition in 1970. 1075 was powered by a
302 cubic inch Ford V-8 engine with Gurney - Weslake heads.http://www.motorsportcollector.com/GMP1075.htmlhttp://www.gt40.org.uk/Gallery/Gulf.htm
