For 1968, new rules capped Sports-class engines at 5.0 litres, which excluded the Mk II and Mk IV but left the smaller-engined Mk I eligible; John Wyer's Gulf-backed team won that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans with a Mk I driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Lucien Bianchi, and the same chassis, P\/1075, repeated the win in 1969. Road-going Mk I cars, softer-sprung and better trimmed than the racers, were also built in limited numbers. This model represents a 1968-specification GT40 Mk I finished in dark blue and orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features \u0026amp; Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:18 scale Solido collector model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark blue bodywork with orange nose, orange center stripe and white number roundel with race number 5.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Gulf logo on the nose and door.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSponsor decals including Girling, Ferodo, Firestone, Autolite, Koni and S.E.V.
