Pathfinder Motorsports recently commissioned the build of a Mk IIB. This is the first Safir-licensed Mk IIB continuation GT40, featuring many accurate details. The Mk IIB was the final version of the Ford-sponsored GT40s, and it represented the acme of track-proven refinements. As an example, the Mk IIB dashboard - different from every other Mk I and Mk II - was so successful that it was carried over to the Mk IV 'J' cars at Le Mans. 

The car was in build for over six-months to transform P/2024' into a Mk IIB. This car was built for Pathfinder Motor Sports following significant research using original drawings and records (including technical documents authored by Ford, Holman Moody, and FAV employees R. C. Lunn, Joseph Macura, Jonathan Bowers, A. O. Rominsky, Robert Hogle, H. L. Gregorich, C. D. Jones, Joseph Ihanacik, Jr., and Jerome Meeks), as well as personal collaboration with Lee Holman. 

This car features original GT40 components (ranging from a Tennant Panels interior console to an original Lucas 608 mirror), Holman Moody engine and suspension upgrades, Olthoff Racing updates, and dozens of special modifications that add to this car's authenticity. 

It features a titanium-silver & black stripe paint scheme with several Le Mans-inspired elements, including red Holman Moody front fender 'eyebrows'; a low-reflection front hood area; and different roundels, fire marshal, and sponsor decals. It is a left-hand drive car but just for safe street ability and domination at any track-day event. GT40 P/2024 is absolutely stunning - and unique!
