He felt like the first time I drove my Ferrari 430. Not the same car but I felt just like he felt. If you are ever stress out in life all you need is a short drive in a car like this to forget about all your worries.
What a mind blowing machine. Tom you have such a discerning taste for vintage cars and this one proves it. Congrats on the purchase, be hard to see this one go.
This car was actually delivered to us with 2 very special models. A 1:18 with removable wheels and fully functioning features and a very rare 1:12 model of the same period.
Thank you Tom, I cannot buy these cars but I appreciate the expertise and pure love you have around your cars. Always a great geek out as well - cheers mate.
Thank You for sharing. What an experience, my brother and I understand you have to leave the potential clients something to chew on, that car is a unicorn! We wanted to hear more revs! We were on the edge of the couch drooling!
An important road car converted to race spec is chassis P1049. This car was purchased by Grady Davis, an executive at Gulf Oil, in 1966. He actually had his car converted to race spec, and had it entered it into the 1967 Daytona 24 under the J.W.A.E team, formerly F.A.V., where it achieved 6th Overall, and was the highest placed Ford vehicle. It would have placed higher, but due to an error where they had left the windscreen heater switch in during conversion, someone bumped it and between that, and the headlamps and other electrical items on, the vehicle was using more amps than the alternator could produce. They thought the battery or alternator was going bad, which was replaced but still had that issue. With the lost time, they figured they could have finished as well as 4th had this not happened. This car would propel the Gulf Oil company to enter endurance racing. The car did not start out int the famous livery we all know and love today, the Daytona and Sebring car ran a dark blue/orange, but would later adapt the sky blue/orange when the Mirage M1 cars began racing).
What a fabulous car and sold in a few days! Absolutely the right choice to repaint in correct colour. Gt40 P1008 in Linden green when presented with colour matched wheels is my dream car!
Beautiful GT40. The color reminds me of Ford "Gulf Stream Agua". Congratulations on your purchase. A 1960's Ford GT would go well with my 05 and 2019 for the trifecta 😊. Thanks for posting including the fascinating owner history.
Oh good lord the Mk1 has the prettiest lines and the 289 Hi-Po with the 8 Webbers it sounds incredible. I know the big block is where it's at but as a road car it's more than enough for me.
My ears are bleeding! Tom is a class act. Hard to believe he’s related to Sr and Carl! Only kidding. That was one of the best automotive videos ive seen. Every car tells a story and Tom has such an infectious passion for the story of every car he buys. More content please!
Love the colors you go with.....everyone always seems to want red. These unique colors such as this and the one on the Daytona you recently published are fabulous.

Hard to beleive something that beautiful and powerful is 55 years old.
...and 55 years before 1963, the Ford T was introduced.
Why? I'm 54.
The GT40 is the best car ever. No questions asked.
I like the format of this video ...a simple walk around stats and historical review then a drive.
Thanks Jeff - we're thinking of doing more of this. Really raw, pure driving, what do you think?
@@TomHartleyJnrLtd I think I need that car
What a iconic car. The sounds it make is just tremendous. It smells probably just as great.
The best smile I have seen in a long while when she fired up Tom. Your face lit up a treat. Bloody fantastic. You made my day with this.
He felt like the first time I drove my Ferrari 430. Not the same car but I felt just like he felt. If you are ever stress out in life all you need is a short drive in a car like this to forget about all your worries.
You cant hide the excitement from any petrol head, it's like when you bring your kids to the toy shop. Love it.
What a mind blowing machine. Tom you have such a discerning taste for vintage cars and this one proves it. Congrats on the purchase, be hard to see this one go.
Stunning & timeless lines - definitive automotive beauty
Wow, you just never see the road GT40s, what a amazing sight for such a iconic car. You truly look happy my friend, congratulations.
Finally, a video with a start up and a test drive included. That's what we were all waiting for.
We're thinking of doing more Tom Talks like this - what do you think?
The colour really jumps out at unique. Looks almost a contemporary version of a retro look if that makes sense.
Love the colour. Nice to see one without all the racy graffiti.
Beautiful car and color. Shoes match too. I'm not British but I think you'd call that Cheeky.
A good look at a legend with no uneccesary fluff or hype
I had a toy car of this '66 Ford GT that I still have fond memories of! LoL. 👍
This car was actually delivered to us with 2 very special models. A 1:18 with removable wheels and fully functioning features and a very rare 1:12 model of the same period.
Holy hell that is the most beautiful car I have ever seen... I've seen gt40s before but not In that color ..
1 of 1 produced in Warwick Green 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
@@TomHartleyJnrLtd; And I thought "Guardsman Blue" was my favorite color for 1966 Fords.
That's the most beautiful car I have ever seen. It's futuristic even today. Hard to believe it's slightly older than me.
Had the pleasure of seeing the 1966 Alan mann gt40 gt-1 beautiful car! Owner is a great guy!
That color is incredible beyond belief. Unreal. The GT40 is in my top three of all time.
Thank you Tom, I cannot buy these cars but I appreciate the expertise and pure love you have around your cars. Always a great geek out as well - cheers mate.
first time I've seen Tom this happy, congrats to the TH team for this astounding acquisition
Thanks!
Unreal! Felt like I was inside the cabin. I had to turn my headphones down....but not too much! And yes, I love the green.
Absolutely raw and visceral, we were all fantasising with you at the end, thanks Tom. What a treat.
Congratulations Tom, this is a brilliant find. Very much enjoying Tom Talks.
Great to hear!
Incredible noise thanks for sharing Tom
Thank You for sharing. What an experience, my brother and I understand you have to leave the potential clients something to chew on, that car is a unicorn! We wanted to hear more revs! We were on the edge of the couch drooling!
That color is stunning.
It's crazy how good that color looks.
Tom you cannot sell this, it’s the perfect addition to your collection 😍
It is tempting!
Amazing to see, what a beautiful colour, then it started up . . . . . Lordy, she sounds super 🏁 thanks THJ
Awesome Cars , Thanks Tom
Tom you are just living the dream for the rest us. What an outstanding car that is!
Cannot imagine a more perfect car! Color spot on too !!
Stunning looking car. One of the timeless designs.
Couldn't agree more!

this is brilliant, a boy hood dream for me the GT40, glad to have found your channel Tom
Thanks Roger - glad you're enjoying our content!
What a beast ....that V8 noise is phenomenal
If I had to choose just one classic car to drive, perhaps this would be the one. Such an icon and so beautifully restored and adore the colour too.
If you Google "Ford Advanced Slough" Ford Co. has a fantastic historical essay on the development of this car.
What a fabulous car and sold in a few days! Absolutely the right choice to repaint in correct colour. Gt40 P1008 in Linden green when presented with colour matched wheels is my dream car!
Great video! What an awesome colour! I didn’t know each panel had the chassis number tag on it! Very interesting
That’s literally my dream car. Would love just to drive one. Dad was born in 66 so it’s something very close to me
I heard one of these once in person and the sound was incredible, an absolute beast.
Video production rivals quality of the car. Well done!
I saw both a racing, and road version of the GT-40 in a private collection in Scottsdale Arizona. They have fantastic cars
Magnificent video.
Absolutely Fantastic
Beautiful GT40. The color reminds me of Ford "Gulf Stream Agua".
Congratulations on your purchase.

What a great car Tom and of course a wonderful video. Would like to see more. 👍🙂🇬🇧
What a car !! Love it. Fantastic video Tom, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Stephen!
Another great video. Looks a challenge to get out of!!
Then it's a good job you don't want to get out of it once you're in it!
One car you never need a radio in.
One word - Very Special ! Oh that two ! Brilliant video Tom.
Beautiful 🩵 the color is stunning!!!
What a wonderful and beastly analog machine.
I was thrilled to see a new TH video ... this did not let me down..
Glad to hear it Stacy!
The color is very similar to Aston Martin’s F1 color. Absolutely beautiful.
Simply the most beautiful car ever built.
That is unreal Tom!
its magic, thx for sharing the 3xperience 🔥
Man you have a great job.
This is a stunning GT40 Tom, love it and great video. All the best Vint-tro.
Great to see it being used :)
Oh good lord the Mk1 has the prettiest lines and the 289 Hi-Po with the 8 Webbers it sounds incredible. I know the big block is where it's at but as a road car it's more than enough for me.
My ears are bleeding! Tom is a class act. Hard to believe he’s related to Sr and Carl! Only kidding. That was one of the best automotive videos ive seen. Every car tells a story and Tom has such an infectious passion for the story of every car he buys. More content please!
Seeing these in person is rad. They are so low and tiny. A little bit bigger than a Miata and you sit inches off the ground.
A unicorn car. The only GT 40 Mk1 in that color! Nice!
Fantastic car, beautiful colour - bet you keep it!!!! I would.
Sounds amazing
It's even better in person!
Love the colors you go with.....everyone always seems to want red. These unique colors such as this and the one on the Daytona you recently published are fabulous.
Love the passion , beautiful
How many right hand drive '
Simply Stunning. 🏁
Arguably one of the 4 most beautiful cars in history. The other 3 are Ferrari 250 GTO, Mercedes 300 SL Gull Wing and E type Jaguar.
I would add to your list, although not a road car, the Porsche 917.
My all-time great car choice (with the Cobra a close second). Just wonderful.
Simply beautiful
Simply awesome.
That fuel pump is louder than my V6. Sweet.
Simply stunning.
Wow.....the sound.
Tom... Stunning car absolutely gorgeous if you can buy that car add it to your collection extremely rare .😊
The roar of that motor like music.
The colour is ........ gorgeous
Like the green and the shine.
900th Like! Such a uniquely beautiful original Mk1 Ford GT40 road car!!!!
Cheers Tom!
I shall consider purchasing it.
Looks terrific and sounds great. The Peterson Auto museum has a grey one.
beauty beauty color one of the best Ford GT
I´m in Heaven! i saw a green angel
God, what a sound!
Still with a 200 MPH speedometer in 1966
For your next trick, See if you can get one of the 6 Original Shelby Cobra Daytona GT's
It all looked super exciting until we saw the lorry gaining on him in the background. LOL Still a beautiful and exquisite car!
It even has the correct tyre sticker!
Green IS Gorgeous !!!!!!!!!
That sound is just 👌🏻🎵🎶🎵🎶 Superb car Tom, how can you sell it????
Magnificent!!!!
One word EPIC
Beautiful color makes it look like a touring car, but that's made for racing...
What a car!
