2012 Ford GT40 | Harrogate, North Yorkshire

The Ford GT40 is the low, mid-engined coupé built to beat Ferrari, and it won Le Mans four years running from 1966 to 1969. Its name is its height: 40 inches at the top of the windscreen. This 2012 car is a recreation of that racer, registered with the DVLA as a Tornado TS 40. This one is finished in blue with a black interior, a dark, clean pairing that lets the shape do the work. It has a 5.0-litre petrol engine and a two-seat cockpit, and its very good condition suits close-up work. The body sits low to the ground, which gives a dramatic angle on camera. Its racing profile suits Le Mans themed photography, 1960s motorsport scenes for film and TV, and advertising or music videos that want speed in the frame. A blue body gives fashion and editorial shoots a strong block of colour. A wedding couple or birthday hirer can have the same car for the day. It is based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
