Gramps46 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Looking at my GT40 collection it was obvious there were duplicates of the very successful Gulf sponsored GT40 chassis P1075 which won Le Mans in 1968 and 1969. I decided to do some decal work and change two of them to the race liveries of other races which it won using number decals I made in MS Word. 1968 Le Mans 1968 Spa 1969 Le Mans 1969 Sebring Bingo!, dilemma solved. In order: Le Mans Miniatures, Majorette, Thunder Valley, Hachette P 1075 also won 1968 Brands Hatch (#4) and 1968 Watkins Glen (#5) Share your photos of P 1075 if you like and thanks for looking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffman Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Great idea, Gary! 😃 P 1075 is like the Hero car for every other GT40 to look up to. I remember reading the story about it in the June 1987 issue of Road & Track. Very impressive history for that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is one of the -( if not THE ) most succesful sports-racers ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave B Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 That's a great collection Gary, there can't be too many sports/gt racing fans of the 60's that haven't built 1075. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phildaupho Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Love GT40's. I bought the Thunder Valley kit 25 years ago but was always intimidated to start it. It is finally now on my build list for 2024. As much as I am a fan of the Gulf livery I plan to build the Canadian Comstock Team GT40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I packed my Thunder Valley GT40 for the ACME show so I’ll post some pictures by Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
